37 no lift ?

Any thoughts or Ideas appreciated. If I take it easy will I be ok with 37x12.5 hankook mts for about a week untill my lift shows up. Tires I have right now are getting pretty bad. A little rub on the control arms doesnt bother me I just dont want to tear out the inside of my fenderwells. 37s are on the rear already. Thanx Phil

Wink

so...you`re running 37s in the rear , and stockers up front right now

they`ll fit (on stock wheels)for limited street use , but if you`re only talking about waiting a week , for the lift to be installed , I`d just wait

37s in the rear 35s up front. Two wheel drive only. The tires are an hour drive south. The leveling kit an hour north. I know I should have had the leveling kit shipped to my house. The L kit will be in on Wed. My 6'' Revtek on Fri. Thinkin bout canceling the leveling kit but I dont want to have to be in a rush to install the 6" system. And yes they are on stock 17" aluminum wheels. Front tires are getting dangerously bald. Phil

I run 35x12.50 BFG MT's. They rub a little in the front, not enough to have a problem.

37's would be too much with out some aftermarket rims or some spacers.

stock rims will clear much better than most aftermarket rims
but they would only rub the control arms.

You will have a better chance clearing the 37's without a level spacer. When you run a spacer with the factory control arms it move the axle back a bit which increases the chance that your tires will hit the back of the fender. Especially on the passenger side since you wil be shifting your axle a little bit to the drivers side,

I have 37x13.50r17 on stockers with a 3" kore kit. I had to trim the plastic inner fender and the corner of the pinch weld. It does rub the control arm but nothing terrible. I believe somebody on here had 37 bfg mt's on with a 2" leveling kit. I believe he did the same thing. I would say if your not driving much just take out the plastic inner fenders for the week.
