Anyone with 37's or 38's mounted on stock 17" rims?

How wide are your Toyo's now?

There's several guys around here running 40+ on narrow rims and it does look funny. Not to mention the stability issue. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Ken,

I'm running the exact same setup as you. I found these rims that I had posted earlier and would like to get them for several reasons.

This is the rim.



The reason I want this rim is I'm old school, it's hard for me to really like 38's on 20's (which I have)... to me it doesn't look like a off road truck as much.

Second, I'll be able to buy a smaller size... perhaps a set of 37's which will in reality be 36's and with the 4.56 gears, it'll bring back some of it's power. If I don't, I'm definitely going to have to add a sc, I'm not pleased at all with the power of the truck at highway speeds.

Last but not least, I'll have no problems selling a set of Toyo Open Country's with 2K miles and the nipples almost showing...


I'm just afraid that the widest tire on a set of 8.5 or 9" (whatever the factory is)simply isn't going to look wide enough.
