Mods required to run 37"s on SVT Raptor

[bstoner59]

I think it was on the other site, I saw a guy who had 37's on his truck on either stock or mid perch, said it rubbed a little, but it was also not going to be seeing much dirt.

I did have mine at mid perch with no rubbing around town but all the smashing and trimming had been done. I think it still would have been OK for around town...

Yeah I was looking at mine and thinking the same thing before I left. I'd just do that, but knowing how I run my truck I need to be on top perch with the BFH (Big Fackin Hammer) mod done to the fender wells

Any DIY with pic??

For the front fenders I believe I have seen somewhere that the hammer and saw method works well for stock wheel offset (see G's Build). But rims that offset the tire out more than stock (Methods=0 offset & especially Negative offset rims) may well require fiberglass fenders for hard offroading/jumping to avoid damage

Checkout E63's build thread it has lots of PICs on how to modify the fender to install 37" tires. Don't ask me what post # does it starts on.

I like to romp my truck and wanted to do run 37s, so i just finished installing aftermarket fiberglass recently.

Whether or not you choose to upgrade 'glass, the main thing you wanna do is hammer in the seam welds that run in arcs inside the fenderwells.... If you dont hammer those seam welds in they will slice up your tires like an angry ex-girlfriend with a Ginzu knife.

Notice the term "fenderwells" is plural... That means all 4!

Which fiberglass did you use? Stewarts?
