Is anyone running 37" Tires with a 6" RCD lift. I am hearing it can't be done without adding a 2" body lift which I don't want.

I thought with 18" rims we could run the same backspacing and not worry about A-Arm and Caliper clearences.

I would love to run 37's because I really think it would fix the tire/ wheel well proportions, and make it look better.

TIA

I would have to verify, but I think the guy down the street from me is running that same setup on 20s and I have never heard him complain. It looks good too.

I personally like a litte more rubber, so I went with 18" rims on 325/65 Nittos (equivalent to 35s) and I think it looks pretty well proportioned.

Out!

You can do it, you have to trim the lower portion of the (inside) fender where the fender and the frame meet. I am having mine done as we speak I will try to post some pics, they had to trim the plasic back and then trim the metal, mold it inward under the door. It should look ok though. The other option is crank the t bars up but then the front will be 1 1/2 higher than the rear.
