I had them on my Jeep and was very happy with them. But I don't want 35s. I've read some threads about folks who've bought 37s, and they are all over the board on what they "needed" to do to fit them. There the only thing that is staying my hand.

I'm intrigued by the Nittos because of their Terra Grappler line, which seems to have better traction on pavement and might also serve for some light off roading. Since this application is 95% street, I'm thinking they might be a better choice. Thoughts?

Those of you with Methods, what do you do for SVT center caps?

Please! I'm torn. Right now I'm leaning towards the Method Fat Fives and the 37x12.5x17 Goodyear with Kevlar. $3900 OTD. Includes mid perch adjustment, mounting, balancing and alignment, plus a road hazard warranty, taxes and other fees. And this is for 5 wheels and tires. I need to see others to compare.

I'm not sure, but I thought I read somewhere in my life that 37's wont fit as a spare under the truck without some modification. I think you need to make room in the front inner fender for the tires to fit. I like the methods, I have a different version on mine though and used the method caps.

Its pouring outside so no pics until tomorrow but I weighed them. 110# on the nose on 17" method nv's. 3.75 oz was the most weight needed to balance. They look very nice I'm wating on lugs to mount them on the truck

I read in a large 37" tire thread that the 37" spare fits. Barely, but it fits. Guess I'll find out!
