37" tires - do they fit?

[redondo]

37s are definitely worth it to me. On my 2012, I have mid perch & +2 deavers & stock wheels. It took an hour to bend back the rear wheel well pinch welds and trim the back of the front wheel wells. This picture is a bit misleading since the truck is in my driveway with an arch to it, making it appear the front wheel has more space than if it was level. It never rubs and there are no high speed issues, and it looks great & performs even better in the desert. I live in Big Bear & often drive off road in Johnson Valley, home of the KOH!

I had 37s on my 14 gen 1 top perch and now on my gen 2 leveled. I think it’s worth it and they look great. I also had 0 offset wheels on my 14 and also have them on my gen 2 with minor trimming on both

you really need 4:88 gearing to effectively pull the 37s

Hi all, I'm a new Raptor owner, just recently bought a 2011.

When I bought the truck, it had 20" Fuel wheels with 37s, and they definitely rubbed when turning...... not sure of the wheel offset, but assume that it was at least OEM if not further out from the hub. First thing I did was yank those off and install some 17" wheels with the OEM sized 315-70/17s, and the truck feels so much better...

I have 37" KO2's on my Gen 2 with an MPT tune and all is well. Even if I run with the stock tune, I really do not notice a difference.

FFS these Gen 2 guys..

@Dalamar you can run 37s on mid or top perch but it's better to run on top perch. ideally you should buy new coilovers to adjust the front but not everyone does, you WONT rub on 37s on top perch if you run BFGs as they're only 12.5 wide. if you go to a toyo or other tires that are 13.5 wide you will rub. don't listen to these Gen 2 guys, unless they've owned a gen 1.

All good points. I am a Gen 2 guy and I was just speaking to the performance hit, or lack thereof, and not fit.

I agree with you on not noticing a single difference on staying with stock gears and going to 37s.

Its these other comments that have me shaking my head lol.

I'll need to check the backspacing of my wheels, they seem a little more flushed out than the stock wheel, but not much.
I LOVE the look of my wheels on the truck, and they haven't been any issue on my offroading trips so far. if I get crazy into crawling I can get fatties on my stock wheels.


Thanks for the pic and the feedback guys!
