37" BFG ATs

[ZBoater]

This is my front drivers side tire with my steering wheel turned one full revolution to the left. This is the closest point of contact for my 37" BFG ATs on OEM wheels with the vehicle at rest. It's damn near exatly a one inch gap. This was before I installed the PDP mud flaps which definitely get closer to the tire, but still don't rub.

ZBoater or anyone running 37" tires and any other wheel, I'd like to see a similar photo for comparison sake.

Here you go. It was a no go.



And that was straight.

Are you at least on mid perch?

Well that sucks!

I am. The truck is now level. I like that look. The guy is aligning it now.

Yeah, but I think it worked out. I like these 35" Pro Comps. Been reading a lot of good things about them, and they seem like a good consolation choice.

Oh well, at least it's all here when someone does a Google search!

Yeah, sucks. But like i was saying, i wouldn't recommend any 37 w/ stock fenders and little to no trimming but the BFGs. Do you know what the overall factory mesurements of the Goodyears? The BFG is a 36.3.

36.8. That and the offset did me in.

Ah bummer. Minor trimming would make them fit. Probably just removing the mud flaps would help.

The guys at 4 Wheel Parts and I stared at it for a while, tried it on, and rotated the tire back and forth. There was going to be some serious trimming required it seemed. They invited me to take a look. I didn't want to risk it. Not for 37s. And I've ended up not liking that big tire look anyway. So it worked out in the end.

Just for comparison sake. I'm running Falken Wildpeaks. They measure 36.6. Just slightly larger than the BFGs. No rubbing for me on stock beadlocks and mid perch. That includes mild off road work.

Those look like the new design, maybe bigger than the old design!
