What am I doing wrong? 37" toyo mt

[RaptorAddict.com]

Okay I'm very rarely ever starting threads asking for help, however I believe I'm at the end of my patience and the body shop s doing the work is to.

Essentially I have a 13 screw. I've been collecting parts for some time and have finally gotten to the point to wrap up all the mods.

I bought method wheels Glassworks fenders and liners under the assumption of running 37" tires.


I bought the 37" toyo mt
The truck is stuck at the body shop with big problems, the tires do not fit!


This is the gap between the actual body of the truck and the driver side tire.

I've done allot of research before running out and spending all this time and money, doesn't seem to be panning out for me.

So my question is what am I doing wrong?. I see tons of raptor on here running this same setup?

First off, Toyo 37's are larger in diameter for some reason than others, or the other may just be smaller. So with Toyo 37's you will have some rub noise here and there, but mainly while turning into driveways. But here's your solution. See that 90 degree corner on the bottom there? Hack it off and an angle. Then trim the edge of your fender in that same area for more clearance. Been doing it this way forever and never had rubbing issues with the Toyo's. But still be aware that you will have rubbing noises during certain instances, but it's nothing fatal or anything to worry about. I hope this helps.

I have 37" Nittos, on factory beadlocks, mid perch, stock fenders, and I have no issues rubbing on or offroad. I'm sure I could make them rub if I jumped the truck and tried real hard, but they don't rub and aren't close when turning. The factory wheels have a +34 offset which makes for 6" of backspace. A 17x8.5 Method has 0 offset which makes for 4.75" of backspace. you have moved your wheels 1.25" outboard... add a tire that is probably 3" wider in the tread and 2.5" taller and you've got a tire that when turned is going to be over 3 inches closer to the back of the fender. New glass fenders don't move your pinch welds and that's where your going to hit first. You need more offset (move in), narrower tire, or shorter tire (35").
Do you still have a factory wheel? You might want to remount and see how it fits.

Look underneath your truck, you will find that the lower control arm adjusters in the back are moved in and the adjusters in the front are moved out.
Have the alignment shop move the aft ones out and the front ones in.

No more problems.

(how many times do I have to explain this)

Please keep us posted of your findings going to high perch. I'm on high perch and would love to run 37 toyo mt on 20" fuel trophy (+1mm), which forces me to go 13.5 wide (no 12.5 available on 20"), which like someone already said is actually more like 14.5". This particular tire is a true 37, so I may need to go with nitto trails in 37 x 12.5, which is a smaller 37 (more like 36.7). Hope everything works out ok for ya.

I just picked the truck up and drove it 35 miles from the body shop. It's been their three weeks.

This actually helps allot. I don't want to go to top Perch. So I'll be trimming. In fact I think I'm going to trim and plate that area of the firewall to make some clearance, I wanna drive hard out in glamis, I'm gonna need it

A sticky and a write up of this would be stellar. How much does this move things?

Enough to run Cooper STT Pro's 37x13.50R17 without cutting or trimming anything.
Note: the stock front bumper could be an issue.

Obviously not or we wouldn't be here
