For all you guys running MR105's with 37x12.5R17, the only MR05 fitment I see is in an 8.5" rim width? I know most of the popular 37s spec out with 8.5-11' rim range, but I've never been a fan of running on the smallest spec rim width. Would prefer a 9-9.5" rim width.

Are you guys running 37's fine on the 8.5" rim width or is there a wider rim MR105 fitment for the gen2 that I'm not aware of? Many thanks!

That's what I've been running for the last 7 months. You'll have 0 issues; my truck has been to hell and back without a hiccup.

same. The smaller width will also have an advantage on bead tension. I ran the method 701s with grabber x3s on the last exo trip ( 1600-1700 miles, 1200 or so in the dirt). I ran at 21 lbs cold ( which was 23-25 at temp ) and didnt have a flat, a spun tire, nor did i need to rotate my tires like some others.

If I wasnt stepping up to 40s, I think i would get another 2-3 trips out of the tires ( for a total of 5 trips equalling approx 5,000 dirt miles and about 12000 street miles if I kept using them).

Love the pics - looks great! Good to hear ... the MTZ P3's are on my short list.
I had 35” toyo mt’s on my gen1. These Mickey’s have excellent traction with predictable manners, they are also on the light side for 37s.

I have Geisers up front and deaver +3 out back with rpg drop shackles. I will be mounting McNeil 2+2 fenders this weekend.

Did you have to do any trimming with that setup? Doubt you will with the McNeils, but curious with OEM fenders. Thanks.
