True 37's on factory beadlocks

[cth991]

I'm more of an OEM+ kind of guy and want to run a different tire on the factory wheels on my 22' Raptor with 37PP. Has anyone made a tire change only and what suspension mods will be necessary? Was hoping 1.5" collars and .75 spacers in the rear will get it done.

If using stock wheels, I think you’d be ok with no mods.

Yep no need for any modifications another 37" tire will fit just fine.

Would love to see pics if anyone has already made a tire change. There isn't much clearance with factory BFG's. Forgot to mention I already have 37x13.5x17 Toyo Open Country M/T's that I was hoping to use.

13.50 is what will give you the trouble not the 37. You’ll need to run spacers or aftermarket wheels.

You’ll be close to rubbing on the upper A arms with those tires. You’ll need aftermarket wheels for those.

What's that gonna weigh? Those Toyos are 94lbs. We had them on a class 14 Ranger and it took 2 guys to lift those pigs off the rear cage, and do a tire change, (on a lighter Method non-beadlock 17x8.5). The oem beadlock is 37lbs. That means you'd have to crawl under the bed, use the hand-crank to lower and drag out the 130+lbs spare, and then slide back and hand-crank the old one back up under the bed. I think 37's are great, but storing one underneath? That's a hard NO.

I'll be using General Grabber A/TX in 37x12.5x17 STUDDED in winter. about 70lbs so about 4lbs heavier. So I am sticking with the same size for my (2) sets of tires. Obviously avail not studded.
I see zero benefit in only going 1" wider and not also taller. If I had your Toyo's, I'd sell 'em.

lots of really good Mud tires in 37x12.5x17
