Highboy tires
I have a 76/77 highboy with 35X12.5X16.5 Big O XT tires on it now and it seem to have lots of room available to clear 36" or 37" tires. Just wondering if anyone here has run 37's and what the result was (rubbing?). I have the appropriate backspacing to avoid rubbing on the frame, just wondering if the fenders will be o.k. or not.

Going from a 35" tire to a 37" tire is only going to put the tire another inch closer to the fenders. I have 36's on my 76 Highboy and the only place they rubbed was behind the front bumper on the fender but I trimmed them and they fit fine now. I could run 37's maybe even 38's and still be ok.
Heres a 36 on the front of my highboy, the yellow line shows where I cut.
