Tire Size After Icon Stage 3

[ccslider]

Sounds like I should go 35's or 37’s.

How can I calculate how that translates into the actual tire size?

 

[Jgunner]

If i had the money and needed tire, 37 all the way.

Nitto makes a 35x11.5 r17 now too, I think it's in their Trail Grappler tire

Don't forget that 35's is about the largest you can go on Stock Gears... so they say.

33’s suck on stock gears. I can’t see the point of avoiding more rubber sucking on stock gears, since more rubber sucks less than less rubber.

People spend immense amounts of money to not have clearance. It’s fascinating.

I don’t think buying a Ford is going to help much; the front axle is a driver drop so it couldn’t even be used for parts.

Hi

I was thinking 42’s now that 37’s are basically stock size.

We all know that 37’s are way too small. It’s just a matter of knowing what you want to do about it.

You guys are a bad influence on this guy. He started out with 33’s in his mind, and pretty soon he’s going to be DDing a rig on 42s! Lol

I guess if i was sticking to stock gears, a narrow 35 would be the best option. Otherwise, adult up to some real rubber and gears. My .02

Any plan to stick to stock gearing is doomed to failure unless your mods are aesthetic only.

Crawl gearing is as important as lockers.

I’m sticking to 37’s. The reason 37’s are too small is 80’s are too big. It’s good to design natural limiters in the system or you’ll end up killing it...or just being so overbuilt that regular trails are no longer fun.

Radius arms and 37’s crush parking lot speed bumps. It’s awesome.

Are those puny 37’s on the 80 behind you?

 

[ajax1]

Yup 37s any thing bigger and it won’t fit in the garage, 42s are monsters, he has the engine to push them though just fine

There are guys who run stock gears and 37’s but lower gears in the t-case.

Iam personally a fan of gears, lots of it. Went 4.88’s, but should have gone 5.29’s for the impending 37’s. Ill try to stay 35’s, but i know it wont last.

Ideally you do both. The cool thing about the case gears is the ability to overdrive the high range for more headroom for the 5.29’s on the highway plus the low range gears.

For 37’s I think that’s ideal as a dual purpose rig.

4Ds!!!!! Or 37s minimum, if OP has enough $$$ to get stage 3 it would be a great shame to get 35 or smaller.

35s are for people with less cahonas like me.....well I have my cahonas still but after being married with children they are only there for decoration and identification purposes.

Precisely why you need 37’s like the rest of us.

Bumping this thread to see if anyone else has gone 37” tires with the 3” lift.

 

[Marco Lau]

I have been running Icon Stage 1 about 3" of lift with 37" MTs for the past 3 yrs and they worked pretty well. Now i am on 4" of lift with better suspensions and they are much better now than before.

To the OP's request for info... Stay away from 33s.

All joking aside, you've sunk the coin into a lift and wheels which are sending you directly down the path to 37s and associated gearing (tcase at a minimum, diffs more likely). Will they rub? Maybe - depends whose tires you buy and how hard you plan on wheeling it.

Time for you to find a local club and turn your relevant questions into some conversations.

Agree, this is a tough question. I have been tinkling with my suspension, tire sizes for years now and you won't find a straight answer for it. Take it out on the trail, flex it out and if it rubs, start trimming or adjust your suspension.... It takes time.
