How about: ROK-07 - 39.5x13.50R16LT ?

Don't know the exact height but some folks are running 11.00 R 16 tires off of the USMC LAV, I think those are in the range of 38-39" and those should fit the budd wheels on the M37.

Nope, better. They are MRT (Marsh Racing Wheels), and WOW, are they nice! I have 2" of clearance between the tire and the shock, and PS pitman arm shaft, and 1" of clearance between the tire and the grease zert on the steering arm. The center plate wound up being 1/2" thick, so I'm not using any spacers between the wheel and hub. This places the nuts in the same place as the 1/4" brake drum, and 1/4" Budd wheels. these wheels are 17x10's with a true 7.75" backspacing (3.4" more than the Budd's).
