This looks great, near perfect. Other then full lock any other rubbing? did you trim anything?
do you think they may rub with compressed suspension and turning?

Im on the debate for the 35vs37 range too. I will probably do a level kit as well though.
Icon says 2.5" clears 35's
Carli says clears 37's
youre 37 stock, I would think 37 should be good with a level no problem

Cons:
- Truck loses off the line punch. The larger diameter is like a taller gear and hard to turn
- Noticeable decrease in power when towing heavy especially up hills. The 6.7 is powerful but these tires will take all she's got sometimes.
- MPG hit with all the extra rolling mass
- Rubbing on control/radius arm and stabilizer bar on OEM wheels
you 3.55 gears or 3.31's
Im sure you have already said i just dont recall.
do you regret the 37" tire?
also what is your roof height again? I want to make sure it clars my garage door.

If your gearing is 355 it will drop to 322

Just went through this last week. Decided on 295/65/20s. Didn't want to lose any juice towing. Was also hot/cold on the look of the 37 looking "stuffed" under the truck. Good luck with your decision.

thank you. good review. my wheels are +18 offset so they should clear.

It seems to have plenty of torque to me, I smoked the rears taking off from a stoplight trying to turn right into traffic yesterday. To me 35's basically look stock except for the tread pattern and people love the negative offset. I agree that dished wheels look nice, but I won't drive a damn roller skate either.
lifted or leveled?

The tires do rub at FULL lock only. Who drives to full lock on a regular basis. No other rubbing at all. No trimming no wheel spacers. Plus when I tow I switch them out to a set of 295/65/20 general grabber X3's. I've driven over 7000 miles on these 37s and no issues whatsoever.

I did 37x13.50x22 Toyo Open Country MT's but on a 6" Fabtech lift. Its already a big truck and now its much bigger. Rims are 22 x 10.5 with a -32 offset so they do sit outside the fender. Added a 2WD valance vs the larger 4WD valance under the front bumper and had to do slight trimming of the valance plastic to avoid rubbing at full turn.

I forgot won't fit in most garages. But it will fit in most drive-through carwashes with the 37 inch tires

37's for sure. 35's (no offense meant) look out of place on even a leveled truck with new body style. Had 37's on leveled 2011 and dint like the look. Looked stuffed. Hard to sway me to try again but very glad I did. Thing that helped the most is to look at 35's with a level. I am very happy I went with 37's and Epic Cowlick really helped with him making jump early. My 37's don't look anything like a stuffed tire and in fact every guy I ask what size they think my tires are, all have said 35's. 35's look like 33's on this new body. Get 37's you won't be disappointed.

It is crazy how much bigger a tire looks when you put it on a wider rim.

37s on stock wheels don't look stuffed at all, but you put it on a 10 plus inch wide rim and they completely change.

Same with a 295/35 inch tire. Put it on a stock wheel and it looks about stock, put it on a wider wheel and it looks much bigger.

295's stock wheel with 2.5 inch spacer leveling kit


Same tires on a 10 inch wide wheel with -19 backspacing
