Well I did it, I finally decided to go with new tires. I postulated that I could get the 37 x13.5 x 17, mount them on the stock rims and not have them rub excessive.
I was right, there on and no rubbing issues yet. Still street tires so for. Haven't gone offroad yet!!!

Jerry....
We are going to Gilmer this weekend. That would be a great place to try them out.
Check your PM.

Great... blurry driveway pics. Wonderful.
How about some straight on shots, rear shots showing the tires and fenders and after you've gone wheeling, some shots of the sway bars and inside of the fenders?

I really like the way 37's fill out the wheel wells.

Great set-up, Jerry. One suggestion on the photos. If you're shooting a white truck with an overcast bald whight sky, be willing to underexpose & overexpose a little; try bracketing your exposures. There are only 2 closeups where we can even tell what tires you're sporting.
Thanks for the fit info. Lots of folks are migrating toward the Toyos. Please let us know how they do when they get dirty.  |

Actually, the camera lens had 2 y/o fingerprints on it.
I'll take some better pics and show the fender wells.
Sway bar rubbing is a given, no way to avoid that.
I did have to cut a bracket in the rear just in front of the tire. Here is a pic

Did you need to cut both sides or just one?

Cut both sides took about 10 minutes.

Do you have the Air Suspension? Have you had it off road yet? If so, any issues?

Doc, Have you had these off road yet? Any Long term issues occur? I'm thinking about powdercoating a set of wheels and putting these tires on mine.
