Here's mine... 35x12.50 Nitto Tera Grapplers on stock Sport wheels 20x9. I have a 2.5 inch leveling kit in the front and air bags in the rear. I slightly rub on the sway bar at full turn and considering adding spacers.

Addictive Desert Design! I just put it on this past weekend. It's well built with beautiful welds. I can't tell you how impressed I am.

@HDHNTER How does she run with the 37's? Did you have 35's before and then switch?

That tire and rim package looks like exactly what I need.

Yes, I was running 35x12.50x20's previously & MUCH prefer the ride of 37's on 17's. The 35's were LT 10ply tires (dealer installed lift & wheel package when I bought the truck new) & they rode pretty harsh, hitting the occasional pothole was not a pleasant experience, lol. The 37's soak them up nicely. I fully expected a need to re-gear for the 37's (8spd / 3.21) but surprisingly, it's still plenty quick but that has more to do w/ the tune & Pedal Commander I'm sure. Oddly, my MPG went up a bit w/ the 37's (speedo is calibrated correctly via tuner & confirmed accurate via GPS). Averaging 15.8mpg now after 3k on this wheel/tire package where as before mid 14 - low 15mpg was average around town (as per dash readout). Assuming the mpg gain is due to reduced overall gear ratio from the larger tire diameter. Nice little mpg gain that I was definitely not expecting.

If I towed regularly a re-gear would be needed (quoted 6k for 3.92's, that front diff kit is a pricey ****) but I don't so sticking w/ 3.21's until a need arises. I like the gear spacing w/ this combo but rarely see & hold 8th. Not a big deal for me as 8th wasn't used much w/ the 35's either. All in all, zero regrets going to 37's.

Again, your truck looks tremendous! Thanks for the real world comparison between the 35's on 20's and your current 37's on 17's. I'm concerned if I get 35's on my stock rims they're gonna look small. Now the 37's on a nice 17" rim looks outstanding.

I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of chrome but I like the way my truck looks with it and actually like my rims too.

That being said I may have to copy exactly what you did, and maybe delete some of the chrome. Maybe go with Amp steps in place of my chrome side steps.

Well shoot. You may have just convinced me to go 37s for my next set of tires
