Max tire on stock rim?

Ok ok I know I'll take some crap for asking this, but I love my stock rims. I want to put 37's on there, but am afraid there isn't a tire that will fit with out rubbing (dang offset). Anyone know of a tire that would work?

WOW! now that looks cool. Now I can ditch the 315's throw them on the wife's jeep and put the truck on big. Thanks Shane.

Yep I will be rolling 37's after I get my 3" springs done in the front and 1.5 blocks in the real. KawaiRam just put 37's on his leveled dodge.. He has a thread on it so look back a couple of pages and you will find it..

Who needs a lift to roll on 37"s?

I have 37's on my stockers and it's fine. 3" up front, 2" in the back

I can't believe how you could fit 37's on a truck with no lift, but every vehicle is different.

I have 37" BFG's under a leveling kit and it works fine. I did finally get some rub, while messing around off road, but it's very minimal so Im ok with it. They sure do compliment the truck nicely, finally look some what proportional. Still planning on putting 2" in the back to regain the factory rake. For some reason level doesnt look right to me. Here's my photobucket link for some pics. http://s154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/kawiram/

Dont you have 2" spacers up front? Does that not constitute as a lift? Just curious.

I'll bet you have more of a chance of your factory tires rubbing than Xlr8r's do.. A well built suspension can handle 37's with no lift.. I know that he puts a lot of time and pride in that truck so it is more function that beauty.. Besides he built everythin in the pic!!!!

It's true guys - I do have 2" leveling spacers in the front

.... but NO LIFT!



I actually DO use it out on the ranch and off-road, but I don't go rock-crawling or wheeling at speed - jumbles up the contents of the JoBoxes too much.

To make it work, I measured everything carefully, and after installation trimmed the plastic chin spoiler, plastic fender liner and the fenderwell pinch-weld. Only contact the Toyos have is with the lower control arm and swaybar - lock to lock steering is ~ 90% of original.

I have to point out the clearance mods in person or they can't be seen.

p.s. thanks Shane

Do you like the TOYO tires your running are they loud? Im running 35" hercules and they are super loud due to tread design.

By the way they look awsome SLICK truck

Thanks Troy - I don't think the Toyos are loud, although I can't hear much anyway over the AeroTurbine 4040L, cat-shell and SS dump at the rear of the cab and this on the other end:
