DIRTY SEVEN CLUB

Honestly really liked my Baja Boss A/T. I had a hard time balancing 2 out of 4 of them but MT made it easy to warranty them out (at 80% because I did put a few thousand miles on them). But the 2 new ones were perfect. No complaints about them. They are on the heavier side but they’re my favorite tire I’ve ever ran on all my vehicles. Great looking tire too. I just always switch it up because I like trying something different but if you told me I could only run 1 tire rest of my life on my truck, it would be the Baja Boss A/Ts. Got me through a huge blizzard driving home from Vermont to NJ at 2 am. Can’t go wrong with them.

 

Guess the baja it is.

 

Nice! No cutting to fit those?

 

So you're in Western Ore. ? I lived 6 miles east of Newport. Toledo was my home for about a year and a half. Loved Oregon.

 

Need a build thread or more pictures of this. Badass build!

 

I know the area well. Newport is my most visited port, by far.

 

Will they fit

 

Based strictly on your pictures without any info on offset or lift, definitely.
…cmon dude

 

Seriously cmon bro they fit just like that.

P.S. my garage is full of parts waiting to be installed. Lol

 

lol do it!

 

Those Icons look nice!

 

Ordered new wheels. Ready for 37s!

 

New set of 37x12.50R17LT Cooper AT3 XLT to replace the Kanati Trail Hogs.

 

That wheel and tire set up is going to look killer man. Hurry up and get them installed and post them pics!

 

Waiting on the DRT kit so I can tackle all my suspension work Front and rear

 

Anyone Running Kmc's with some 37 ko2?

 

Maybe the tires? or may be the suspension he/she has doesn't compress as much?

I have KO2 37s, they run small, here it is compare to my old 285/75r18 AT3W, the Falken measured 34.9" and KO2 measure 36.3 ish, I also run 17x8.5 et0 and I have almost zero rub when compressed on Bilstein 8112 with Icon billet UCAs.

Yea, those tires run small, so easiest way to fit 37s.

 

I attached a video for reference, the most rubbing occurred at the rear where the tires would grab the top lip of the bedside fender well opening. If you turn up the volume you’ll be able to hear it.

Also will quote my build thread here which has some pictures to show rubbing at the top of the inner wheel well as well as some others. Note I do not have bump stop spacers to limit up travel. The tires meeting the inner fender wouldn’t be a problem if the friction didn’t act as a brake and slow the wheels down. Lol.

I’m glad you aren’t experiencing rubbing issues, but my thought is that you’re not flexing out the truck as you claim you are. But if you are, and aren’t rubbing, it would be great to learn what’s different because as you mentioned so many have had the same experience as me with 0mm offset. I’m running +25mm on my current Tundra but at 35” until I can install 5.29s and figure out the right solution for a spare. There certainly are much more wheel options with 0mm offset.

Could be a mix of things for sure. Tires could be a bit smaller, or bump stop spacers to limit the travel at full compression where the most rubbing occurs.

 

Yeah! I currently have 315/70r17s but I don't want to do 35s because it's essentially around the same. So maybe 37 KO2 which are probably around the 36". I'm on stock gears also.

 

Does anyone run 17s "KMC" wheels. I'm looking for some pictures with chromes ones? I really wanted the Brushed silver ones with black lip but unfortunately they don't fit.

 

Post a picture like this of the side of your truck and I'll photoshop the set in 2 seconds.

Side note, you can buy these Method 703s in machined that are probably lighter and +35 offset for $254 a pop.

 

After a few years of squeezing 37s onto my truck with Method 701’s and 0 offset, I switched out wheels for something less flashy. I went with the new Nomad Convoy in a 17X8.5” +25 offset. The difference surprised me. Not only do I get fewer “sick bro” comments from dudes at gas stations, but my tires no longer graze what is left of my cab mount. (Not much)
And, my steering generally feels better.. With the 0 offset of the Methods, when I would hit a pothole or a water bar, I could really feel it coming through the steering wheel. With less offset, I get less feedback to the steering wheel. I know it’s only 25mm on each side, but it feels like there’s less strain on all of the components in the front end. The Bead Grip of the Methods was nice reassurance, but I don’t think I will ever actually need it. I spend a decent amount of time in the backcountry, and 18-19psi is generally the lowest I end up airing down to.
