New Rims and Rubber!

[akarilo]

New style FJ's and 37" KM2's.

At first sight, (rolling off the UPS truck), I was kinda freaked out as they looked huge. I knew from past experience though, that they would "shrink" once under they truck; and they did. Here are a couple of comparison pics with the 315's. It's not near the "leap" I was freaked out over. They don't really feel different power wise (on pavement anyway). They do provide a smoother ride on pavement as well. I put the truck in low range and noticed that the crawl ratio does noticeably suffer. We'll see about gears one of these days. Going to head up to Disney tomorrow and test them out. I'll report back with the results.

I centered the 315 on top of the 37" in an attempt to show the true diameter difference and it's not really that different. If you're on the fence, I say go for it.

Nice combo!

Those wheels look really nice on the LX.

Nice. I should've gone straight to 37's. What lift are you running again?

 

[Delancy]

Do they measure 35.5" on the 17x8?

I've been eyeing those new wheels, on the fence if I liked them, or not. I am tilting toward "like", they look good on your truck. Did you used spacers to get the caps on?

advice

Glad my advice sold you. They look great.

Contrary to your post, I thought my 37's were a big jump up in size from 315's. My 315 dick cepeks measured to just under 33" on the truck. My 37" mickey thompsons measure to 36-3/4" mounted up. I gained 2" of ground clearance which is a lot in the rockies.

I do like the new fjc rims. Kind of wish I had found some of those.

Looks great!

What lift are you running again?

OME medium 851/860 and a 1 3/4" Metal Tech style spacer up front. 1" uerethane spacers front and rear.


Wheel spacers are 1", which I was already running on the factory wheels.

Looks nice! I do like the gun metal color of the rims. Kinda elegant but sporty.

Do they rub?

Going wheeling this weekend, I'll report back. I added an inch of lift from where the 315's were. We'll see.

 

[Crashdix]

Nice sneakers! Let us know about rub under flex...

What are the back spacing and width on those wheels? I have been having a hard time finding 17" wheels that I like so I can go to 37's but those look great.

 

[tpham32]

Nice! I'm liking the setup a lot! So you are on stock gearing??

 

[akarilo]

What are the back spacing and width on those wheels?

It looked to be 5" and I am utilizing a 1" wheel spacer. 7.5" on the width.
