Adam:

Extremely cool. What size and type tires are those?

Also: What size & maker of rims do you use?

Thanks,

George

[Adam in CO]

Thanks. The wheels are Rock Crawler Series 97 (17x9) and the tires are BFG Mud Terrain (37x12.50x17).

[GeorgeSSSS]

The rims/tires look very sharp and very purposeful. Did you have to do anything to make them fit or did they just bolt on OK?

Also, how are they day-to-day on pavement?

Sorry for all the questions, but you definitely have the well tricked-out rig.

Thanks,

George

The 37 MTs are good bit louder than the ATs, but they are easily bareable. They seem to wear great on and off road although I put the stock ATs on when I am going to be onraod for a good bit of time.

Here are the tires in action.

Kyle:

Thanks very much for the photos that illustrate the difference in the tires. Did they fit onto your rig without any suspension modifications?

Also: Absolutely awesome photo on the rocks.

Thanks

I have no suspension mods on that truck in order for it to accept 37" BFG MTs. Bone stock. They do rub a little. The front tires rub the sway bar on both sides, but so did my stock 35s. The 37s also do rub the wheel well liners in a couple of spots too under full articulation. It has never been a problem but once when it did a little damage on the rear driver wheel well trim. It ripped it a bit, but nothing that a little cutting with the dremel did not fix in about 5 minutes. All in all I say go for it. The ground clearance and wet traction the BFG MTs has added has been a GREAT help on many different trails.

Kyle, curious to see what the actual difference in clearance would be...have you checked??

I took a bumper measure when we were taking off the 35s and after we installed the 37s. It was 1.6" higher after the 37s. Those BFG MT 37s are HUGE tires. When I first saw them, I thought I had screwed up bad and they would not fit. Obviously they did. The difference in height if easily noticeable parked next to a stock H2 and you will notice a difference getting in and out of the truck as well.

Thanks for the very solid information Big Guy.

Thats what i figured as stock tire height was 34.4 and you gain 1 inch of rubber between the ground and the wheel.......thanks!!!!
