Thoughts on 37s

Your dorkel fell off ^

 

LT front helps tho...

I'm not going that route...

Nice work Jamie.

 

I came up an inch short (that's what she said)



Who's that riding shotty?

 

Dem sum big tires der boys

 

That looks real good on 37's! What did you do with your body mount? relocated? How much do you steer before you hit your firewall? Do you have closeup pix? Im trying to make as much room as posible on my taco but im still thinking 37's are a little too big to steer close to lock but it sure looks good

 

Full stuff, full lock. Neither tire is close to the frame. Pretty sure there is room for 40's. The trick is wheel offset. Make it wide.

 

Is that with a +3.5" LT kit? What's the wheel offset?

 

Yes, those wheels are for my spares and have a BS of 4", but the beadlocks are 3.5" backspacing. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pcw-52-65883/overview/

 

Going to need soo many spacers without LT

 

Just put a solid axle under it! Seriously, test fit some 37's. You could fit them on a bone stock truck with a little trimming.

 

I've read your build thread. We have different ideas of "a little trimming"

 

Everyone has a different idea of that...

 

I quote this from my build thread - Mark (NwiTACO) has been very helpful in sharing his experience with this.

 

Great thread guys. I'm trying to justify 35's. I put 4.56 gears in both ends and the 32's (265/75R16) have me spinning 2600 rpm on th ehighway. Need some taller shoes.
Want to find some 35x10.50R16 tires that I can afford. I know, "if you wanna play, you gotta pay".

Yeah I figured offset is everything.. im trying to se if I can do it with 1.5" wheel spacers and 4.5 offset wheels! The cab mount looks to be the worst problem which is why im trying to see different rigs with 37's turned into the firewall not away.. I dont care if its supper stuffed but I wanna see how much it will turn into the mount. Right now my cab mount chop and rotation mod gives me about 2" at 85% toward lock (with 33") but at lock only 1& maybe 5/8 and if I work on it a little more I can bet I can get almost 2" with my 33"bfg's. Maybe tomorrow a bud of mine is gonna try to let me test fit his 37" bfg's

 

^ that's the best way, just test fit. Every truck is different. Different wheels, different alignment, etc. That's another thing you can do to give you more room- max out your caster. When viewed from the front bumper looking toward the driver on the driver side, turn the front cam fully clockwise, and the far cam fully counter-clockwise (opposite for passenger side). This will push the tire forward away from the cab. Watch the steering arm, if you go too far it will hit on the coil spring. It will also handle better in the dirt, at the cost of feeling a little floatie on the freeway.

 

Something to keep in mind... is the floating feeling because it will be plush going over bumps or is it when steering left to right?
