About to pull the trigger on new tires...help me decide

Not with an aftermarket rear differential cover, it won't.

Great. I guess it works out since I'm not changing my differential cover.

Yep. And the 37' BFG AT KO and Falken Wildpeak ATs measure on the smaller side of 37 inches. Barely clears the diff cover.

The other problem with stuffing a 37 tire in the spare location is that the exhaust will probably melt the tire as it will be against it, unless you have removed the side exit behind the rear wheel

Yeah, I got rid of that. I have nice Ford racing tips now. I had this but no more..

I did. A differential cover with no drain plug just kind of pissed me off.

Ok, I'm committed. Pulled the trigger on 5 Goodyear MT/Rs with Kevlar 37x12.5x17 and 5 Method Fat Fives 6x135 with 0mm offset. 4 Wheel Parts had free shipping on everything to their store which is close to my house and they are doing the mid perch, install and alignment. $346 for each tire and $187 for each wheel before tax, install, etc.

Now the wait begins. Product gets shipped, I reassemble my center console and shifter so I can drive the truck again, set aside half a day to get this done, take lots of pictures and post back here.... Yay!

Thanks to everyone who opined. It's great to bounce these things off people with similar interests!

Whoa, ZB, you don't fool around!

Man, I'm a bit OCD when it comes my Raptor. I was starting to obsess over this. I've read so many threads about wheels and tires, I think I'm cross eyed. It fits, it doesn't fit, it rubs, it doesn't rub, Nittos, no, Toyos, no, BFG, trimming, pinch welds, glass fenders, mid perch.... I found the cure. Hit the "Submit Order" button.

Now, I'm at peace.... Until the next mod....
