Running 37x13.5 on 17" Rims (Raptor)

[BlackReef]

What mods would be required to ensure that there will be no rubbing at full bump or full lock if running 37x13.5R17 wheels on the Raptor?

Aside from doing the following, what else should be done?

- Fiberglass Front Fenders
- Top Perch Mod
- Flared Stock Rear Bedsides (has anybody done this?)

Also, what is the preferred backspacing for the 17" rims to avoid any type of running with these tires? No body lift either!



Thanks in advance

Fiberglass fenders for sure with the top perch mod, you running stock wheels and do you have to run 13.50 cuz you still might hit.........

Never really seen or heard anyone trying/wanting to flare the rear fender more than they already are........

You will rub with any 37" tire even if you run on the upper perch setting and have fiberglass fronts. If you trim back your firewall you'll be good. We just did this for Chris's Raptor. He only has a 35" but the big offset wheel posed a serious problem.

Here is the before and after:

It's called a Pinch Weld Mod

Is that fiberglass I see?

We installed a set of Glassworks on Chris's SEMA truck.
