37" BFG ATs

Right, but it fits, fully aired up. If you look at E63's thread, he has to deflate his KM2 to get it to fit.

Again, all food for thought when looking for new tires. I love the Toyos...and someday i'll have them, but for now, these work just fine.

Eh... good to know. I had missed that little gem.

My 37 toyos stuffed on landing. This actually pushed my fenders up about half an inch! Didn't rip anything our or blow the wheel well liners out but just pushed the whole fender up haha

I had 37" toyo mt's before and yes they're amazing but at 92 pounds a tire and they're not cheap I couldn't see buying another set.. I love the bfg all terrains I've ran 3 sets of the stock tires and think they're great for both on and off road use. I do want a taller tire to soak up more stuff cause the 37 toyos were smooth off road when aired down the more rubber between me and the ground the happier I am haha

Yeah, these tires came in (weighed them on a bathroom scale) around 65lbs, just the tire. So the weight is good, and i've run the BFG ATs a few times, never had an issue. And like you said, on and off road, they suit me just fine. If i did the Toyos, it'll be after i get boatecs...which i'll be getting regardless of tire.

That's from the tires pushing up the fender!

Exactly what part of the truck are the tires contacting when this happens?

Did you have the pinch weld modified when this happened?

it was hitting the bottom part of the fender flare itself. i have a 2010 so i've been running on top perch for over 3 years now and i didnt hammer the pinch weld down i used my angle grinder and ground it down flush with the wheel well so there wasnt anything sticking out then welded a small bead over it to make sure nothing separates. i had to do some trimming of the rear part of the fender as well to keep it from rubbing when turning

Just wanted to add a little bit to the discussion of this thread. I had a set of 20" Vellano wheels (custom made for the Raptor) installed on my 2013 with 35" Wildpeak A/T's. Took them off after a week because they were rubbing too much. The shop from whom I purchased them later sold the EXACT set to an owner with a 2012, and they fit with no problems. Both trucks were on mid-perch. Sorry, but I don't recall the offset of the wheels. You can see them on Vellano's website. Try the link below.

VELLANO FORGED WHEELS

It was discovered that there was a slight difference in the fender liners from 2012 to 2013. Food for thought before some of you drive yourselves nuts trying to figure out why some have rubbing and others don't.

Edit: Also want to note that these tires were the 325/60R20's, not the actual 35" version. According to Falken's website, they measure 35.2. Doesn't say what the 35's actual tire size is.

Wow thats interesting. Can any multi raptor owners confirm this?

More pics of the spare...I do plan on getting the outlaw bed rack, and then placing my spare in that, but until then, this works nicely.

Let me know if there are any other pics anyone wants of the spare...i know i owe a few more pics....and they will be coming.

I noticed that your exhaust has been cut, that might be another area for folks to double check.

Yeah, good catch. So I when I held my cut-off exhaust up, the heat shield did touch the spare tire...so just more food for thought.

Hack that exhaust tip off...
