Yea I konw you 'could' run the 12.5 on the stock rim, but the handling will definitely suffer.
In an ideal situation, the rim would be just a little bit wider than the tire.

Yes they will fit perfect....I know of a lot of guys running the Kendas on a factory rim. The black rhinos are 17x8. There are some members running a 12.5 wide on factory rims. But there are a lot of different opinions of doing such a wide tire on a 7.5 rim.

Playing with the Slumberjack Roadhouse tarp, lots of different configurations possible. I see a bunch of use coming at the deer lease and beach...

Not a huge thing but purchased a Gladiator plate frame. Can’t pull the trigger on the tailgate letters yet. Moved down to FL from GA hence the temp tag. Going tomorrow for tint. Will have before and after pics. 15% most likely.

Installed a full size overland wheel as my spare and a steel rubicon bumper.
Anyone who can tell me how the park sensors are supposed to be oriented in this thing I’d really appreciate it.

That seems like a REALLY overpriced kit for the Wilwoods.

Is brake performance a common issue wth Gladiators?
Nope, actually about $200 under list for Wilwoods. Brembos would have been another 1k to the kitty.

Depends on what your doing. If I was just running my 37s the brakes would be ok. I haul a 3500 lb. UTV and a 4k lb. boat around. At that point.....the stock stopping power isn't sufficient.

Almost looks like its squatting in the back now. Might have to go stiffer in the back!
I think it’s the angle of the picture but may have to go stiffer when I load it up and attach the camper.

Took off all the stickers and emblems. Have the Hauk Gladiator sticker for the back and deciding on what to do with the sides.

Im not saying YOU paid too much, Im saying the kit is way too expensive.

I buy Wilwood caliper all the time and that kit should be way cheaper.
