Taking the plunge on wheels and tires. Holy moly…

I got the AEV Borahs with the same offset. Love them! This should be a good idea of how it sits for you.

I did end up sticking with the Wildpeaks, too! They are just as quiet and well mannered at 37".

Did you have to do a lift with those 37s?

In this picture, yes. AEV 2".

Here is a pic before the lift:

I am really liking those orange rings! May have to do the same with mine. Nice rig!

Bfg’s are one of the smallest out there. Or the “least true to size”.
their 39” isn’t 37, but their 37’s measure in the 35” range- 35.75.

If I were looking at a 37” bfg, I would spring for the 39 and figure out a tire mount. Or look at a more true to size tire- Nitto?

I have heard this same thing said many times on this forum but it always appears to be vastly overstated, based on the published dimensions. Published actual diameter for a Nitto Trail Grappler M/T is 36.85", BFG KM3 is 36.5". Yes the BFG is smaller, but only by 0.35" not the 1.25" you stated. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm asking, where is this much smaller diameter coming from? or how is it measured? I'm just confused.

And if the 35.75" size is aired and mounted, then what is the Nitto in the same situation. I can't imagine it is still 37" unless it is a rock-hard tire with zero flex (which obviously wouldn't work for an off road tire).

I'm very interested in the 37" KM3s, but I haven't been able to answer this contradiction. Thanks!

I can’t help you with anything published but had a set of 37” ko2’s on my JK for daily use and a set of 37 Nitto trail grapplers on beadlocks for off road. Ko’2’s when newer measured less than 36”’s and the nittos measured almost 37” when mounted. Ram nittos at 32psi until I hit the trail, aired to 18 for normal trails, and as low as 4 in the snow.
sure height changes dramatically when dropping from 32 to 18 and even more when going lower. Take the published opinion on tire size. I’m sure your Jeep gets the published fuel economy too right? ?
