POLL: help me decide my next tire size

[prowakeskater]

Top perch with hammered pinch weld i assume but holy cow 37 toyo on a stock fender is wild!

Right? Looks nice but damn, HOW lol

If I'm mostly streeting this, idk if mid perch would be ok

That's not a bad rub at all, but add 17mm and it my turn brutal

I'm thinking a little torching of the plastic to soften, then depressing with pressure for clearance would fix?

Haha. Going with Fiberwerx 2.5" ( I believe) fenders that retain the stock fender liner. Didn't want to cut into it hahaa

Sharp Terrain though! How much wider to do the fiberwerx make the truck?

I believe they are 2.5". Just received them last night and due to the rain, didn't bust into them just yet.

Awesome. can't wait to see how they look. Are you rolling 37s?

 

[BearLeeAsian]

yes currently rolling on 37s. No off roading so I'm good. Hard getting out of the parking spaces at the mall due to rubbing.

With the 37x13.5x18 Coopers being a hair under 37 (36.8?) and only 14.2 as opposed to the 17" Toyo 37's being 14.6" wide and a true 37, do you think I could get away with no rubbing at a +18 offset at mid perch? I have a 2011 Scab so I could to top perch also if necessary.

 

[BearLeeAsian]

Well... Yes I think so.. With some modifications... There's a plate behind the wheel well towards the door that you will need to make relief cuts and .. Bend back Lol.

This is on the passenger side, facing the cab.you can see the piece he's cutting.

I just went with nittos. The 18"ers are just barely larger than the 17's overall, so they should fill everything up nicely with the +1mm wheels I got

Tirecrazy is having a free shipping sale, and I've been reading more and more about the new Toyo compound sucking ass

CMS- try those 37" coopers out and let us know! Top perch will definitely work with that pinch weld mod, but try to make it work with mid perch first and get back to us. That will likely be my next tire

Hah, I'm just not sure if I want to be the guinea pig. I cannot make up my freaking mind. It snowed here today so I'm back to leaning with the safe bet in Duratracs but the Toyo 315/70R18's MT's are probably still my top choice. Like you, my only worry is on-road manners in rain/snow and not getting the same crazy mileage of older compounds.

I'd just prefer to run the biggest tire possible without cutting on my sweet girl.

From what I read be careful of top perch on 12+
