Kore HP w/ 35'sor 37's?

Just ordered new ball joints and the Kore HP kit last night. I will be running stock steel rims and have narrowed the tire down to BFG MT KM2's. Contemplating the 37's as I can get them for the same price as 35's. Thoughts? Anyone running this combo? Pics?
TIA,
Mike

they'll rub bubba...people will tell you they won't but I tryed and they did on my 05' and 07'. If you do a little trimming the'll just rub on your control arms but that even was too much for me. You might really like the toyo mts. I was a BFG guy and after getting my toyo's would never go back. I have changed a few others here at DTR...ask BOSSHOGG lol!

Thanks Texan! I have 315's right now and they rub a bit on the control arms....not too bad though. You are saying with the lift they will still rub? Not too concerned with the control arms, but the fenders I am concerned with.
Aloha,
M

lift kit wont stop those tires from rubbing on the control arms. You need wheel spacers or different offset rims to cure that problem. My truck is leveled with 35-12.5-17's with 1/8" spacers. No rub lock to lock.

The stock ST steel wheels are only 7.5" wide. That's pretty narrow for a 37" tire.

I don't think you'll fit them. Even if you can, they will look WAY to stuffed. My 35's rubbed on the mud flaps when turning horribly with a 3" lift. Cleared ok without mud flaps however.
