Tire size question

Will a 37x12.50 fit the stock rim?

I'll say no. While they may fit, the stock rim is way too narrow. The centers will wear, the truck will wallow, it's not ideal.

There are quite a few of us that run 13.50 on stock wheels that pound our trucks at low pressures off road and on road with absolutely no problems. The centers will wear funny if you run too much pressure but any tire will if it's too high. I tow about 9k off the bumper and never do I feel it wallowing. Is it ideal? Probably not but neither is alot of the stuff we do with these trucks.

Personally, I have been toying with the idea of this "look". 37's on these wheels makes for one nice looking ride (like a stock truck on steroids)
i've been running 35's on the stock wheels to a point that it seems stock again. Time for an upgrade....

Send some pics if you go this direction.
Further, what size lift are you considering? 4 or 6?

I'm going with 35X12.50 Toyo Open Country M/T's on the factory chrome clad wheels with a 6" lift.

Every shop I talked to didn't want to put 37's on the factory wheel because 12.50 on a 37 is actually a 1/2" wider than a 35X12.50.

I decided on the 6" because I didn't want to regret getting a 4" and later wanting new wheels with 37's.

37" Toyo's on stock wheels aired down to about 25 lbs.

Are they aired down by your preference or due to your adventures that day?

I ask because they mentioned with the 35X12.50 that they typically run 45 in front and 40 in rear.

Aired down for off road. On the streets I run them 42F/32R. They feel good there and wear evenly. I kick the pressure up when I tow.
