curious is someone has measured the actual size of a 37*12.50*17 K02 mounted on a 8.5" or 9" wide wheel.

wanting to go to a wider wheel and might add 37's at the same time, trying to stay as light as possible and K02's are on the very short list. don't want to add a lift yet or regear and curious if they measure closer to a 36" tire.

just for reference my 315/70/17's K02's measure 34 1/4" on a 7.5" wheel @ 29psi.

Btw I am not lifted. Nor have I re geared. I’m a sport s and am overall very happy with the outcome. Did I lose power. Yes of course. But I feel it’s perfectly fine as is without gears. I’m going to add a lift just cause I want it for looks.

perfect, appreciate the info.

that's actually less than I expected, was hoping for something closer to 36"... I would use a 8.5" wheel, would should give it a little more height. but that will not be a drastic change over what I'm currently at, which is good or bad depending on how you look at it. 5lb weight increase, less than 1" increase in size, and another $1500... OR I could just wait and change when my 315's are worn. knowing this I would have most definitely gone 37 K02's from the getgo.

I agree, I wouldn't regear either.

now I'm wondering how big the 39" KM3's are... don't really want a 13.5 though.

Most 37’s measure about 36” on the wheel and about 35.5 on the truck. Same for my Falkens.

I think people doing 37’s on stock gears are nuts. even if i had stayed on the stock 33’s i would have regeared to 4.33 or 4.56.
