Purchased a second gen and looking to swap over to a TE setup like most on here. Currently it has installed Vorsteriner 20 inch wheel with a 35x12.50R20LT nitto ridge grappler tire. Not terrible of a setup, just not what I ultimately want.


My question is, would you expect the 37 inch tire and TE setup most of you are running be an issue coming from the above spec? If my calculations are somewhat correct, there shouldnt be much of a difference, ~2mm at most.

There will be a 2inch difference. You will need to trim a little. I think you are mixing up the Rim diameter to your current wheel to the TE 18inch, yes the wheels are 2 inches smaller but going to a 37inch tire will make your setup 2 inches bigger.

You know what, youre absolutely right and I apologize for the extra chromosome I mustve had yesterday.

That being said, any body running a 35 inch tire on the 18 inch TE's they can share a pic of? I saw the ZE40 setup with 35's but not a TE setup.

35x12.5r18 is the way to go for individuals who don't want to trim anything. Slightly bigger than stock OEM 315/70r17.
With just a level, it's a good look.

Heres a couple of my customer's trucks.
