I can't wait any longer. I've gotten too may conflicting or lack of info.

I'm thinking of going ahead with the TOYO 37x13.50R17

Can anyone offer any input? Pros and cons????

These will be mounted on STOCK rims.

Those tires will rub more than Michael Jackson and a 10 year old boy. Ok, maybe not that much.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Toyo is soon going to be releasing the very same tire in a 35x12.50x17 Just be patient a little while longer. Go do some laundry to take your mind off of it.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I just called Toyo and they said the 35x12.50x17 will be available mid-June- so keep your skid marked panties on.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
If you need some tires to hold you over, I told you I'd give you my 60% BFG A/Ts(they're sipedhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif).

Most spacers are designed for off road use only and come with a very clear disclaimer. (The ones I've seen for the H2 anyway)

I really wasn't sure about the fit of 13.50 on a stock rim. Thanks Seth.

I guess I'll do what DRTYs been telling me all along. I'll wait a little longer.

Thanks guys.

Spacers are equivalent to using rims with too little backspacing. They move the force on the axle outboard, crating a longer lever arm and overstressing the CV joints.
