Question: can you still romp on it as hard as you want or do the 37s present some limitations to how aggressive you can drive? Because I feel like with the 35s there is nothing I can do to have them rub. Nice truck btw!

well since the truck came factory with 35s i bet they perform pretty well since there was a bunch of money tossed into a design team lol.


ive seen a few people run 37s on stock wheels and have not had any rubbing issues. the big question you need to ask yourself is what are you wanting to do with the truck??

you want high speed runs? probably not a bad idea to stick to 35s.
you like quick trails with no real chance of major air at high speeds? 37s probably cool.
you like starbucks in the AM because you just cant even? 37s probably ok for this too.

I've seen people run really hard with 37's on stock wheels/fenders, it's about doing the supporting mods. There is a performance advantage when running offroad from running more sidewall, as well as the larger tires smoothing out small imperfections in the trail/road more than 35s.

If you're going so hard that you're damaging fenders even after smashing pinch welds, you're probably going to end up breaking other things on the truck too.

not a jumper, but I do drive fast and aggressive with no issues. if you have concerns, 35's are still an excellent choice. I like rubber so I run everything on the 17's.

Aaron's mom stuck him in a baby jumper at birth, until the age of 18. he really never recovered.
