37X12.5X17 Won't Fit Need Help.
Hey guys,I ordered a set of Yokahama Geolandar 37 inch tires for my leveled truck.I was hoping the mild tread pattern would allow them to fit without rubbing.NO GO.Close though.They rub ever so slightly at full lock.Will have to ship back to TIRE RACK.$210 shipping both ways.Too bad,these are a NICE tire.An expensive lesson.So I would like some advice as to what tire size I should get to fill the wheel wells without any rubbing.I'm kinda leaning toward the NITTO DURA GRAPPLER in 285-75-17 (I know these will fit).I really liked the YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR though.They make them in a 315-70-17 which are 11.5 inches wide and 34.5 inches tall.Will these fit without rubbing? Load rating is not that important to me since I only tow a couple of times a year (6500 lbs or so).Any opinions are welcome.Thanks.-Andy.

I think 35" would be a better choice anyways 37" have to look way to stuffed. I had 35" tires on stock suspension with aftermarket rims that stuck them out quite a bit and they didn't rub at all. I know most people say 35x12.50 on stock rims will rub the control arms slightly.

I shipped tires back and will be trying 315-70-17 YOKAHAMA GEOLANDARS on my stock wheels next.I really liked the tread pattern on these (not too aggressive).I hope these fit because the shipping charges are getting expensive.I'll post up some pics when I get them mounted.-Andy.
