17x8.5 (0) OFFSET AND 37s? JUST TRIMMING?

[Kamil]

Hey Guys,

I have wheels on my truck that are 17x8.5 with zero offset. My tires are worn down a bit and wanted to try to go with 37s. Im not sure if the truck needs a leveling kit for the front, which I have since I already purchased one ( I rather not use it if I can). Are there any benefits to staying with a 35 inch tire vs the 37 or vice versa. I want the 37s simply for looks and not sure how much it will lift the truck.

Thanks in Advance

Kamil

37's are going to rub bad.

Just turning or we talking all the time? I saw guys on there post their trucks with 37s but not sure if my offset is the issue or maybe if its just for the turning. I do have the leveling kit for the front that I can throw on it just in case.

I made the plunge and just bought 37s, BFG KM3s. You will need to do some trimming, also 3" perch collars I believe are necessary. I have method wheels with zero offset as well.

So I finally got around to trimming the fender liners and so far on the road I have zero rubbing, full lock, even backing out of my steep driveway turned full lock and no rub. I hear people saying they will rub like crazy and others on here say they don't. Your choice on which 37s specifically will also make a difference. Toyo MT 37s will rub and Nitto Mt are even bigger. So keep that in mind. Good luck and I say go for it as I did and loving the look! Let me know what you decide on and how it worked out

I will post up some pics soon! Definitely love the KM3s from having Toyo MTs the last couple of times the KM3s are the perfect happy medium

With minor trimming and RPG perch kit I have zero rubbing. Full turn. Coming out of a sloped driveway at full turn and no issues
I'm sure offroad if I beat it hard enough it'll rub. In that case I'll move to the next step if need be

No trimming necessary with factory wheels and 1.5” perch. The wider wheels and offset made it harder to fit them.
