Power Wagons ... Post em up!

Welcome to the Club!!
I looked into Big Bend as well as an off road destination. Consider writing a thread on your experience. It would be much appreciated.

For sure! I've been there multiple times in my F-150. As long as you are willing to get some brush scratches, these things will handle it no problem.

Not sure if I want the scratches just yet. ( still has the new car smell) but if you could clip the branches back for me when you go though... haha.

New PW owner here. Picked it up Monday. Chose an 18 because of shifter etc. Looking forward to this journey with you folks.

Nice wheel choice. Did you change your offset?

the aev wheels are 8.5” wide with a +27mm offset. Roughly 5.8” of backspacing. So they stick out about 3/4-1” further than stock wheels.

who cares about back space. thuren wrote a good blurb about it that everyone should read

what do you mean “who cares about backspace”? Who doesn't?

I was looking at seeing how to make my tires flush with the top of my fenders with out trimming the pinch weld on 37s.

12.5” wide tires on stock wheels will basically be flush with the flares. The stock wheels will keep the tire out of the pinch weld area the best... but you will get rubbing on the sway bar and radius arms with 37’s (no biggy though).

I need an 1-1/2” to be flush. A little rub at full lock is okay with me. The tires are a little to far tucked in and the stock tires are 11-1/2” so the 13.5 in width would make it perfect if they fit my rims. But 12.5 would only give me a half inch on the outside.

Had my PW for a little over a month now and am loving it. I’m done with all the mods for now. Added Magnaflow cat back exhaust, a BakFlip MX4 bed cover, Amp Research power steps, and Factor55 ultrahook. When the tires wear out I may replace the stock wheels but I’m not sure. I like how they look currently.

Mostly just the bulge of the tire is outside the wheel well now.

i like the way you think but it can be quit difficult to nail down exact numbers, how far tires will stick out, if anything will rub etc. actual tire sizes (diam and width) are likely all over the board depending on manufacturer. i hear bfg are usually small, although i cant confirm it but thats what ive heard many times. had 35x12.5r18 razr , 13.2" advertised section width, and they are the widest 12.5 tire ive ever seen, probly nearly as wide as most 13.5 tires. im sure its probly a crapshoot with diameter as well. some 37s are near 37, others probly just a hair over 36. with 35s you shouldnt have to worry about much rubbing no matter what off set you use. for 37s it seems most experts agree to stay between 18-27mm for minimal rub but cutting could be needed, again because not every brand is the same size. buy what you like, dont over think it, and be prepared to trim some plastic or sheet metal if need be
