No tire stays at it’s manufactured diameter when you set 2,000lbs on it

BFG is notorious for being smaller than other brands in the same sizes. I think the consensus is Toyos run “closer to true size”, but not “true”.TankerZak wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 4:13 pmI've never seen a true to size tire.. hell i think my 37s are actually 35.75 when run at a reasonable pressure. They are 36.5 before you put the truck on em.Shaved Ice wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 12:24 pmI remember reading it had to be a 37” BFG KO2 because they run small. Toyos run true to size or even bigger. This is probably where the discrepancies are coming from.JamesWyatt wrote: ↑Fri Jul 13, 2018 10:42 amExactly what I'm hoping for! I went with the AEV wheel because they state it will allow fitment of 37s, and they didn't mention cutting being required...

I've seen conflicting numbers, but I think the current PW rims are +44, or thereabouts. The AEV Ram wheels are +27. So about 17mm less offset than stock.Easttnrhino wrote: ↑Wed Aug 01, 2018 5:30 amGood looking truck jameswyatt.i know this has most likely been answered and or bet to death, but how much more offset do the aev rim have than stock .

Thuren suggests the Power Wagon wheel is from +42mm to +57mm (odd to list a range, but he does) - I bet the AEV offset is better than a lot of the guys who go with +18mm since they stick out less.Low_Sky wrote: ↑Wed Aug 01, 2018 1:28 pmI've seen conflicting numbers, but I think the current PW rims are +44, or thereabouts.

Re: 37x12.5 on AEV Saltas – metal trimming or liner only (2018)?
Oh crazy, subforums... I though the AEV's were +18. I'm looking at CJC's custom (cheap) raceline for dodge which are +20 for 37's.
Re: 37x12.5 on AEV Saltas – metal trimming or liner only (2018)?
At +18 your right ontop of the pinch seem. At +20 i didn't have to trim but i get some very very very slight rubbing (like radio off to hear it) at hard lock. I think it's still the sway bar. AEVs are +27 so you'll probably get some light rubbing in the same places. Best for no rub chance is probably +18 and a willingness to modify the pinch seem a hair. (And a 12.5 wide tire)
