Additional info on running 37's and stock fenders.

[infinitereality]

I'm running 37x12.5 Nitto Trail Grappler M/T with a +25 offset. They rub ever so slightly on full lock. I never would have guessed it rubbed till I looked, that's how little they rub.

I still need to beat on the pinch welds ASAP. I love the look of 37's!

I'm running 37" KO2's on mid perch with hammered pinch welds and i can tell you you will also need to trim the fender as shown in this thread as well as a small portion of the bumper. I cracked my fenders on my first outing to the desert. not bad but they do have small cracks now. and my tires contacted the bumper on the left side and bent a small portion. all of it is barely noticeable but it did happen. nothing too serious but if I had known i would have done more trimming. Also, i have methods with the standard offset.

I have the 37x12.50x17 Cooper STT pro's on stock wheels with mid perch and I have no rubbing at all. The hardest I've off-roaded so far with them in the past 1,500 miles I've had them was going ~70 down a beach. I really like them so far. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

@DezertRacer here it is. I guess the tire got pushed up and as it was rotating forward it bent it down.

I don't see on the tire where it hit and rubbed . I have the same tires and run Methods with 0 offsets . No issues at all

Idk. i don't see any other way that it could have bent right there. I'm thinking i compressed the suspension with the wheel turned and that's what happened.

You can run 37's and stock fenders if you are not afraid of cutting!
