37's with the CST 4x4 7" lift??

Colorado_Titan · 01-22-2006, 08:03 PM

Does anybody have or know if 37's will fit with the CST 7" lift? I am looking at getting the Nitto Terra Grappler's 355/60/20 with a 4.5 inch backspace on the rims. The 355/60/20 actually equals about a 36.7 inch tire so a little less than 37. I would love to be able to fit these tires so I don't have as much space over going with a 35 inch tire. So does anybody know if these will fit or not especially with the bigger 4.5 inch backspacing on the rim?

I think cst says they will clear a 37/12.50 tire and what you are wanting to run is at 37ish by 14 so it would probably be hard to tell without putting it on the truck.

I don't know about backspacing but I know you will have to do some trimming for sure. I think it'll look really nice though.

if it is a grocery getter I would say go for it but if you plan to wheel it at all I would go with a true 37/1250 or 35's. bfg makes the all terrain in the 37/1250/20 as another option if you want to run 37's

Okay, I've been wondering about this obsession with tires that barely clear for some time now and I'm finally posting. What's the point of tirest that barely clear, rub like $hit when you turn etc. I mean, there's a reason that manufacturers leave some clearance around tires.

Don't get me wrong, I understand going with a lift and bigger tires. I just don't understand cramming a tire that barely fits.

Thanks again for the help.

Yeah I think the 37's are just going to be too big, even the 37/12.50. I don't want them to rub at all and I don't want to have to start cutting things in my wheel well. I am going to go with the 35's. I do plan on do quite a bit of 4x4ing also so I think my best bet will be the 35's

Me personally I don't want to cram a tire in there. I just didn't know how the 37's would fit in there. I don't want any rubbing, that is why I was asking.
