Not joking, that's why I don't use them except to get their tire pricing, which I then take to the off-road specialty shop to match.

If you mall crawl, 37's will rub on turning. If you off road 37's with no modifications will rip your fenders off. There is about 50 threads about this.

Pretty sure he pushed his truck harder than most on here, including you, with just a SVC CAS (collar on the front) and a stock rear with method wheels on 37” KO2.

Amazingly, his fenders remained intact. Stock wheels would’ve provided even more clearance than the method wheels he ran.

Folks that auto answer “you’ll rip your fenders off running any 37’s without major modifications” are wrong. 35’s, even the stock ones, can cause problems if set up wrong (**** poor wheel choice, etc.)

Tire and wheel selection play a big role in complications you’ll have or not have, both on and off road.

I guess all the people that ripped theirs off (research videos) are all making it up, and doctored the videos.

Read my post and linked thread again. Wasn’t saying it can’t happen because it can with a poor set up and being over confident or having a misunderstanding in what the truck can realistically do (you could destroy a stock truck with that mindset). However, the blanket statement thrown out there by most is incorrect. The correct answer is...it depends.

Yes it does depend no doubt. Too bad they dont make a 36, that would be the perfect size

Agreed. A 36x13 or 325/75 would be nice. Just a touch more height and width.

I like mine tall n skinny. 36x12.5x17 would be my dream tire

To update this thread, I went back to 35's in fear of limiting my truck just for the looks. If I wanted to spend the extra $$$ to build the suspension/body around 37s, I would have kept them. Love these 35 RGs, looks mean and feel fantastic on the road...
