I don't think one exists but does anyone make a tire that measures around 36 inches tall. I think that would be the perfect size on these trucks.

I would think most 37” tires measure around 36”. My 37” KM3s measured around 35.75 mounted but not on truck if I recall right.

The Toyo M/T 315 70R18 is a 36 inch (35.7").

It’s all about preference. I took the stock tires off with less than 200 miles on them and went to a 315/70/17 Micky Thompson. After they wore down and I decided that PWIM was on my to-do list, I went with a full 37” tire on stock rims with a 1” wheel spacer. My tires barely stick out past the fender, I have no rubbing (I did at full flex, though, had to clearance them), but really if your truck is a pavement Princess, 35’s are perfect for these trucks.

Hey what kind of spacers are you using? I hate my tired tucked in. I have 315's at the moment but they are still too far in.

I've got 35's (with -12mm offset rims) and mine are tucked in only because I've got the Bushwacker pocket flares. I'm no spring chicken and prefer the look I have or even more offset. I just don't want to deal with all the crap being thrown up off the roadway during the winter months in southern Ontario...hence the pocket flares to limit it.

I'm guessing you had to cut your studs as well? Also since you have leather, I know you have heated rear seats. Where are your switches for the rear? I'd love to toss in heated rears as I see the harness is already in the back for them. At least I"m assuming it is. Any pics of your switch locations would be nice. Thanks man.

Yes, I had to cut my studs down. And no, I don’t have read heated seats, unfortunately. That was not an option on Power Wagon until 2019. Laramie could have a front bench with rear heat I THINK, so there may be some pics out there that show where the switches are.

Yes, no rear heated seats for the 4.5 gen wagons. The switches for the rear heated seats are located in the back of the center council in those years, which the wagoms do not have. ****** me off, as i really wish my ‘16 laramie wagon had them.

huh. I could have swore it said on the window sticker there were rear heated seats. I just looked a vin up with the leather package and I'll be damned. I guess not. So much for that mod then. The wiring is just there then? Or is that wiring back there for some other feature? I really wish I would have waited to find a truck with leather. ****** me off every time I get in mine and it doesn't have it. I missed out on two with leather and now you can't find one within 1500 miles of me.

Is she really that ugly?

The devil's offset, a -12mm on the wheel, with 37" km3 sneakers.

She might be ugly to some, but she loves me and 6 more monthlys and she is all mine.

Just to compare, I've included her younger look, the stock look from FCA, it just wasn't for me I guess. Granted, they (FCA) has made marked improvements in their asthetics since some of their recent past decisions and stock looks have improved a little. Lol jk

Bottom line,, yall got great looking rigs, even that non post back a couple days ago, all of em very nice, knock kneed or skateboard, I'll take any one of em.

Oh I don’t disagree in the slightest. 35’s look perfect on a power wagon. But I wheel mine hard, I need performance, and my 35’s weren’t cutting it.


Test run some 40’s. Then the 37s wont cut it anymore either

Haha, there’s a little too much cutting and regearing involved in 40’s. I can barely stand the performance of the truck with 37’s as it is. Especially when I get out of my 17 Mustang GT and into my PW! Lol
