37 wheel offset and size

i read lots, but didn’t see anything definitive. Currently running 35s on rock warriors. No Major trimming, no anything. When these go I think I want to get new wheels and go 37s.

What is the recommended wheel offset for 37s? Would like to have the look and no rubbing just like everyone does. Should I go 17 or 18 for tire price and availability?

Thanks fellas.

 

No one? Come on dirty7 Peeps! I’m digging the 1552 traverse 17 inchers. They are plus 25.

 

There is a huge thread about 37" tires. Several people chimed in with what offset they are running or had to change to in order to fit 37s. A 17x8.5 wheel will have a different offset than an 18x9 wheel to clear 37s.
Also, if you are only on a 3" lift, be prepared to do some trimming.

Unless you’re going LT or getting glass fenders, stay around +25. 0 offset is a pain in the ass to fit on MT.

 

37s are gonna rub IMO no matter what offset you run. Compress the front hard enough and they'll hit the inner fender at the top. What front bumper do you have?

 

Like this. Smashed it hard enough to knock my battery off the hooks.

 

Your photo just gave me a great idea. What if we cut the inner fender out, move it up and rivet/weld it back in an inch or 2 higher?

 

read the whole thing several times. Haven't seen a "this is the best offset" statement anywhere. I realize there are variables. Hence I'm asking. Thanks!

 

On my brand new truck??? WTF? Is you crazy??

 

Well, Yes! Yes I am.

 

I read the whole thing multiple times. My questions weren't answered. Lots of stuff all over the place. I realize there are variables in tire sizes and wheels. I have a hammer and low self esteem so I will pound that truck till they don't rub don't worry.

None right now. I had an ADD venom on my last one. Kind of want to keep stock bumper with one of those southern style offroad inserts and space it forward enough to clear. I have a plasma cutter, torch, a dremel with a cut off wheel, a grinder, and a hammer. I can make things fit.

 

Ok. Let's do it.

 

That's what you need. Cutting tools and commitment. Patience won't hurt either but not required. LOL

 

Since it's new, yours would end up looking really good.

 

I'm less worried about cutting out the inner fender and re-attaching as I am about relocating everything.

 

@Rubberdown you can pretty much make anything work if your willing to cut and fab. What are the current specs? level kit correct? Below are the must-do items IMO:

1. BMC. definitely help with turn radius and can fit the fatter tire
2. Pinch weld mod. I haven't done it, but its on my list, will also help with opening up the wheel well a little bit. this will take the fender back about .5-1" if done correctly.
3. Push that bumper forward. I snagged some washers from HomeDepot ($6 lol) and pushed the bumper about .5" forward. Makes a huge difference and you cant tell from the outside looking in, looks like stock
4. Bumper trim. Sounds like you have all the tools you need. Pretty self explanatory

You'll 100% need to stay away from negative offset (I don't think youre looking for a deep dish anyways) lol but youll have to be careful that the rubber isn't rubbing on any internals like the UCA. so the back spacing on the wheels are pretty critical. once you go to the wider tire, you're going to have a lot of rubber and sidewall

btw, if you haven't seen it yet, this thread might help:

From a guy that has ran a couple of "extreme" wheel/suspension ratios, do your research and figure out exactly what you want. Once you figure it out, do a little more research lol Then just pull the trigger and send it. Make more adjustments as needed. Worst case scenario, if you still rub, you'll learn the limitations of how much you can turn to mitigate. Once you get use to it, youll minimize the rub and still have a badass ride lol

 

Yeah I’ll be on ads coilovers in front. Supposed to show up Wednesday. Mcm UCA have to be ordered. Do the resivoirs rub at full lock however ADS mounts them? My kings did.

Yeah I was gonna just stack washer to space the bumper. No sense spending money on fancy plates. Might break down and buy something else. Shoulda kept the ADD bumper but I couldn’t find a stocker to put back in its place.

Of course BMC, skid plate, and the fenderliners are already aggressively done for the 35s I have now.

Looks like 17x8.5+25 wheels once I come to grips with spending money and sell my rock warriors.

 

The 35s didn't hit the resis. Didn't have the ADS w/ 37s.
