37 12.5 R18

Is anyone using 37 12.5 R18 size tires on the stock wheels? I've seen a couple on the stock20 inch wheels but can't seem to find any on the 18 inch stockers.

I have 35x12.50R18s on the stock 18's. Technically you're supposed to use a 9" or 8.5" wide rims with the 35 or 37 x 12.50 rims. But it works just fine.

I'm sure you've posted before but would it be possible for you to throw a photo of your wheels up in this thread ?

I shoulda just went with 37s but I didn't think I'd like that much sidewall so I went with 285 75 18s they're about 35x11.25. I can live with them till I find a set of 20s I like

right that's the same size I have. I don't dislike them but I would like to see how the 37's look. I may go to the 20 inch stock wheel with the 20's but I want to see the 37 on an 18 first

I love the look of a beefy tire on the smaller wheels!

yep I figured I could buy aftermarket 20s for the price of the option from ford but haven't found any I like yet and the only set of factory 20 on Craigslist around here is asking $2000.... You should just buy the 37s and send me the pics so I can see if I like them or not haha

Ok can't help myself from posting... Blue6.2 I have to say your truck looks GREAT 👍. I have a blue jean KR that is being built this week with the same wheels that you have. Love them with that tire size and will be doing that immediately!

Couple questions for you what size leveling kit do you have? Would you mind measuring the rear of the cab to level ground with a level? (I hope that same set up will clear my garage door). Lastly did you cut off any brackets for the lower valence I like the look of none but others say there are ugly brackets that hang down.

Some guys use the air dam from the 2WD trucks. I guess it's about half the height.

There are 3 brackets that hang down about an inch but they are pretty far back so you have to be pretty low down or far away to notice them. I sprayed black undercoating on mine so they disappear even more. And now I've mounted and LED light bar in front of the middle one so that's even less noticeable. Just way better than the valance IMO




This one prior to black undercoating.

Thank you, I installed a 2" motofab leveling kit ($25 from Amazon) . The brackets I believe you are referring to are bolted on and are easy to remove. The bottom of the bumper has a chrome pinch weld that isn't very pretty. I just spray painted it black and it's now hardly noticeable. I will have to get back with you on the height of the cab later.

The Prius catchers are easy to unbolt. The 3 parts of the bumper that hang down do sort of disappear when painted or undercoated in black. My level kit was also 2 inches and my tires are 35's and the cab height with lights is just over 84 inches.
