Default New tires! 37s!!

Got new tires put on my truck. 355/65r18 nitto terra grapplers (nittos website says its a 36.7/14.02r18) . My old 35s were wore out so I thought I'd bump up a size. Truck has a 6" rcx. Let me know what y'all think!

Looks great. Any rubbing and how wide are your wheels?

No rubbing. Wheels are 9" wide. I don't know anything about the offset or back spacing. I bought the wheels from a friend

Looks great! I have 35"s now with the stock 3.73 gears. I wanted to go to 37"s, but I've heard 37" tires and larger would require re gearing. I notice a lot of downshifting even on the highway with 35"s. Have you noticed much of a difference with the new tires?

mhm great to see this since im thinking of going to 37s on my 17x9 -12 offset can you take some pictures of the wheels at full lock to see how much space you have? I have the RCX lift as well

Yeah I'll get some more pics up later today hopefully. I DID have to trim some though. And I'm also still running the stock 3.73. It doesn't bother me. My truck is not a race car it's a truck. It still runs and drives fine and it's still got plenty of power

Look's great, but with 4 and then 5 buck a gallon gas not too far off I would have to think about that move. If the truck's not driven much, no problem!

Haha I know. Gas prices are crazy and the truck gets terrible but I can't expect too much with the lift and tires. But I also have access to a Nissan sentra car that I can drive whenever
