Re: 35" tires including spare in factory 2015

I went 35's for a few months, spare fits fine, just push the heat shield over with your boot! Now I am on Toyo MT 37x13.50 r17 and American Outlaw +15 offset wheels. 1.5" leveling kit with shock extension, Thuren track bar, lots of trimming. Still rubs a bit with full flex. Hopefully will do the fu...

Re: Tire Feedback

The 13.5's are actually 14.2" wide. They are HUGE. It's what all of the dodge go-fast guys run, so yes absolutely they fit. You need wheels with the correct offset (call Aaron at Thuren for those numbers). You will need to trim the pinch weld under the cab I believe. If you have radius arms then th...

Re: Tire Feedback

Anyone running 37x13.5 can you post pics? I'm comfortable with what needs to be done to get 37x12.5s to fit but what about the x13.5s? Will they fit?

Thanks! Greatly appreciate the info!

Re: Reloaderguy's Mod Thread

I used an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel and then smoothed it out with sanding discs. I painted the exposed metal when I was done. My truck was about three weeks old when I did it. My neighbors were driving by as sparks were flying of my brand new truck, they must have thought I was insane. I li...

Re: Reloaderguy's Mod Thread

Forgot, do you happen to know the backspacing or offset of the stock power wagon wheels?

Re: Reloaderguy's Mod Thread

I'm not sure how AEV calculates their backspacing but +27mm offset on a 17x8.5" wheel is 5.3" of backspace. The KMC XD's I am running are 17x9" with +18mm offset (5.2" backspace). Your question really depends on the the tire you choose; 13.5" wide Toyo MT's are actually 14" whereas Coopers STT's ar...

Hi everyone - new member here, looking to pick up a new truck and trying to decide between a couple options...the PW being at the top of my list.

Re: Reloaderguy's Mod Thread

How are you liking the r/t's? I'm leaning 35/37 in those of the At2's, or the new BFG KO2 (killer deal at Sears on the 35's right now), or the Nitto's, or the Hankooks that Neal ran on his diesel, or the new red label Grabbers--decisions. I think I've softened on the SSR's, too damn expensive . I w...
