). I think that your color and silver can. It seems like other trucks NEED at least an 18 to pull of the 37s.

The Toyos are great in bad weather, second only to the Mud Grapplers in my opinion. Tire wear really depends on how you drive, how inflated they are, how much you tow, etc etc. I would say atleast 25,000 on average.

20's and 37's with that BS and they will rub just a hair. I had to trim the front air dam actually I just took it off and moved the rear quuarter pannel towards the door about 1/2".. You will need flares!!! I didn't have them at first then after the first rain I was ordering them right then and there!!

Is it just that they will rub on the front air dam? I am already ready to cut and trim or even remove it if need be. Also will it rub on "hard parts" ie. control arms, etc? Thanks for all the input this is making me feel much more comfortable with laying out a bunch of $$$

fun post, just thought I would add a couple commnets.
you should have less rubbing issues with the 12.5 vs the 13.5. I had some sway bar contact with 12.5s and stock wheels. Changed out to a different backspacing, resolved that issue. 13.5s would of been ~1/2 worse turning radius.
toyo mt vs bfg mt vs mtr. I have them all on same and different rigs and have not noticed that much diference in road noise or wear. Time will tell and wanted to try them all. Currentley I have Toyo and BFG on the rigs. The new MTs are not what the MTs of yesteryear were. They are all good.
Just go with the 37, forget the 35 stuff, that is so last year. Think you already made this decision.
35s you can run stock with little control arm rub. I put the 37s on with 3" front lift, then some fender triming.

THey are 37x10.5" so I have clearance. My 41s are 11.5" wide so they clear with just 4" of lift in the front, 2" in the rear and moving the front axle forward 1" and having the road armor bumpers.You gotta go 37s though! None of this 35" stuff!
