Need some advice n pics on tire size???? 35 or 37

[mchico]

Hey guys I know this question is getting dragged around but i've searched high n low through the forum and even met up with fast n ugly to see how is wicked set up looks.....i'm looking for some feed back, pics and recomendations for tire size on a 2011 4x4 , rcx 6 lift and 5100 bilsteins are ordered n should be here next wk.....very excited!!!! Im leaning towards the fuel hostage wheels matte black 20x10 with -24 offset.........so 35's or 37's????????

 

[mattman_13]

Everyone is going to say 37's... my prediction. Especially with having a 2011. Do 37's and 4.56s the first time. I'd say if you went 35's later you'll want to go bigger. Going big the first time could save you some $$$

Just my experience.

 

[mchico]

Thats what almost everyone is saying .......37s. So how bad is it after you re gear cuz in my car it was horrible .....i know its totally different just curious. Wht are u runnuing?

 

[mchico]

I was debating the gears ............ and then going back to the 35s ...... but the 37s look so damn good on these trucks

 

[mattman_13]

I have 3.55 gearing on my 2012 (stuck unless axle swap and machining like fastnugly) with 35x12.50x20 toyos on stock rims which are a lot heavier than aftermarket. It's honestly no dog and after my trinity on 87, cai, and dodm80 it feels close to stock power wise. It just revs higher and stays out of eco more.

I even plan to go for 9" (i have 5.5" now) of lift on 35's until I go to 37x12.50x17's switching to the 17's to bring some of the rotating mass inward with the weight of the rim.

I remember when 35s were a big tire.. Now with these huge wheel wells ram gave us we gotta up it to 37's. I say do it big and right so you aren't trying to sell stuff to go bigger later on. That's what I'd do if I had a 2011 and gearing was a viable option.

k thx !!!! I was planning on doing the tuner (bullydog), s&b cai n 87 tb to compensate for the tires cuz i only had the 3.55s....but i think your right about the 37s!!!!!!!

 

[mchico]

Does anyone know if the 37s will clear fine at full locked with the bilsteins set 1.4 on top top of lift of course?

 

[mattman_13]

I dont think you will have any issues at all with the -24 offset especially. The rcx people recommend 37's anyway. Doing 12.50 or 13.50?

The TB is on my list as well, just been researching about the needs of our trucks and TB sizes.

 

[mchico]

I was talking to a few ppl and they said the truck becomes more responsive with the tb. I'm not sure, i like the toyo mt and i think they only come in a 13.5/37....just almost had a heart attack when i got a price up here for them. $680.00 a tire!!!!!! I think i have to get them state side or i have to sell 1 of my kids to get them up here lol

I have 35's and the RXC 6" lift, and I like it. I'm going to be getting Bilstein's at some point, and maybe my opinion will change after that, but we will see.
Did I miss something? I didn't think 4.56's were an option for the 2011's without some machine work.

 

[mchico]

Do u have any pics with the 35s? I havent really looked into the gears yet......but i will tho. Im not sure if there is a direct gear swap for 11/ 4.56

 

[AV8B6015]

Here you go.

[mchico]

Nice looking rig!!!!

 

[scmowry]

I am in the same boat. I decided on 35s because of the gears. It kills me but I cant even think about running 37s on 3.55's

 

[mchico]

I hear ya!!! I called a local shop today for a quote on the gears but he has to get back to me tomo.... prob looking at around 1300 or so. Those 37s fill up the fenders so nice tho. I just want to do it once without any regrets but I don't have that money tree!!!!!

 

[Burla]

What the heck is Visa for anyhow?

 

[mchico]

The prob with VISA is that they send this piece of paper at the end of every month with ridiculious numbers on it lol!!!! My wish list grows daily on this forum!! I have come to terms with the mod addiction......I dont fight it anymore lol

 

[TXKID]

You're definitely gonna want the 37's. I only had a 6" lift with 35's and thought they looked a little small but they were pro comp a/t tires

 

[mchico]

Did u have your bilsteins cranked with the 6" lift or lift alone? I know the a/ts or not aggressive n a bit smaller then some m/ts......so u think they will be to small....do u have any pics with the 35s on there.....but i think ur right.... the 37s just make the truck. im just a little worried about the loss of that off quick response, i dont want it to be a total dog.... but thats what gears are for i guess. Add it to the list lol

 

[scmowry]

This is killing me! I just cant decide on what tire! I know 3.55 will be the gear I am stuck with.
