17x9.5 with 4.5 BS on 37x12.50R17 (1 Viewer)

[2001XJ]

Posting my new rims and tire combination since I scoured post after post trying to find information on fitment and pictures always help tremendously. I wanted a certain stance and I knew 3.25" - 3.5" BS is usually the range used. There are, however, infinite combinations of rim and tire sizes and lifts on vehicles. I did find a few pics and info but not much detail or exact specifications. So, I am listing what I used and posting pics so this will help someone else on tire and rim fitment for their setup in the future.

I am very happy with my rim/tire combo and have no issues with turning radius. No spacers required. My vehicle has an SOA suspension.

Rims are Black Rhino Armory 17x9.5 with -18mm offset (4.5" BS) and tires are Cooper STT Pro 37x12.5R17

Not beadlock...too "advanced" for me. I'm not the hardcore rockcrawler type lol

Looks awesome

yes a very nice stance, I think a desierable look for a lot of us. Unfortunately at the expense of using 17" wheels an tires.

@2001XJ, did you have to turn out your steering stops a bit?

looks good

No, I did not have to mess with steering stops at all. Although, the previous owner could have. I never looked.

@2001XJ, how about some overall pictures, thanks.

Here are a couple "overall" pics. I plan to paint the FJ40 sand color to match the rims. Its getting sent out to Proffitts Cruisers in a couple weeks to have the suspension modified. I will alter the rear wheel well opening to properly fit the tire then.

Glad it helped someone else out. That was my hope. I wished there had been more pictures and details to help me but it worked out in the end thankfully.

This is great did you have to order special size for locking hubs or just cut out the center plastic cap?

 

[Kurtisnigro1]

What size lift do you have on that rig?

Just cut out the plastic center hub with a dremel

I have no idea. The previous owner did a cobbled job. Its an SOA mod plus 1.5" extended shackle....so around 7" lift Im guessing.
