That “tuck” though! - 37" BFG KO2 C with +25 mm Method Wheels - No Lift

[FitfulGoat]

Kenda 35x10.5x 17 are roughly the same size, possibly a little taller.

These are the tires I have and mine measured right at 34” @35psi with about 10k miles on them. Most people measure around 34” but a few have reported ~33.75”

too bad just Kenda makes them though, everyone needs to play

What is the height of your XTR1 rack? I am looking to just clear my X4S rolled up and keep a 12.5" wheel below the roofline.

Agreed, I thought they would be loud, rough riding and hard to balance, much to my surprise they are the opposite. I was planning on getting Toyo AT III in 35x11.5x17 but they were not available, Kenda were a distant second choice for me, I had Toyo AT IIIs in 285x75x17 before this set of tires.

I wish Kenda would make skinnier options in the larger sizes. They offer a 37x12.5x17 but I’d love to see that in an 11.5.

Sorry for delay. I went with 15” height

Thanks!! Are you running the same BFG 37x12.5x17 as a spare? 4WParts insisted that a 37 wouldn't fit in the spare space under the bed. Even though I know people on this forum have done it.

Yes I am however I’m not a fan of under mount spares so I run mine on my bed rack. I’d be willing to bet however that you could fit this KO2 under there. After all it is considered a baby 37.

You can definately run the 37" BFG K02 and it does fit into the spare tire area no problem. I have mine mounted there as my bed space is used to much to allocate any of it for the spare tire.

What are your guys thoughts on running these +25mm offset wheels with a lift kit? Basically, all lift kits say they require a 0 offset in order to not rub the beefier control arms. Thoughts? I want the +25mm wheels but Clayton says they require less than like 4.75 inches of backspacing (0 offset). I know they rub on wranglers but the gladiator has 1.5" wider axles for the Rubicon, Mojave and Max Tow.

lol, yup my reading comprehension must have been down a coffee, right on! staying tight on them builds is where it's at, I think if I did it over I'd go bigger lift say 3.5-4" and 35" skinnies at the fender edges for that 'high boy' look, it's important to me to still fit in the 7' garage height so I'd have to be careful....pretty sure the gladiator is the only lifted rig on 37's that will fit lol, I run mopar 2" lift plus 3/4" 'spacers' up front to keep a hair of rake empty, I tow quite a bit so added some timbren helpers in the back that pick up the slack once things sag about an 1", manual transmission and 4.88's, very happy with the set up

and I'm also about that pizza cutter, I've got a crush on the Coker sta super lugs which are about a 36'x9" but 16" wheel, I've done the math, found wheels, it's doable but just nose deep into other things right now, I wish manufacturers would get on board with us snow people that like the skinnies, a 285 70r20 would be ideal on my 20's but I'd like to be even skinnier than that in the 36" range and only the old super lug is there, I see more 11.5" options now so that looks promising for direction, start making some 10.5" in the 36-37" range with snow flake ratings and watch them fly off the shelves! wake up tire manufacturers

You have the Timbren SES ? How are they when not towing and off-roading? I need them to help with the sag my trailer causes. Wondering if I need to switch them out when I off-road without the trailer
