IROK 37x12.50x17
 
anyone with air suspension run 37x12.50x17 on stock rims and did you do ok/not break air sensor.

they look to be 1/2"+ wider than my bfg mt, which are v. close when aired down.

but do you have the air ride suspension in the back?

you will need to modify the control arm for the airride with 13.5 wide tires
there wont be any issues with 12.5 width tires

I have the air suspension and have been running the BFG KM2 37x12.5x17 on a second set of stock rims for over two years with no rubbing and no problems. No lift on the H2.

Yep have air suspension in the back no problems. Running eagle alloys 17x9 black rims and the irok 36x13.5x17 no problems. I bought the keys for the front and no probelms didnt even put them on. I just went up on my tortion bars a quater of an inch and moved my air ride sensor up an inch to gain some height inthe rear and looks great. Thinking i should of went with a bigger tire but it looks good.

I would do the "Air Sensor Mod" (Search it on this site) just to be sure. If you never go offroad you will be fine. But the first time you flex that suspension with a wider an taller tire you risk a big chance of breaking the sensor arm.

I did this mod and have never had a problem running my Toyo Open Country M/T's. They are 37x13.5x18. Really they are 14.2" wide.

I had the air suspension (before I modded it into a "hybrid" system....check my post for more details) and am running 39.5x13.5x17 bias ply IROK's on my stock wheels with no lift on the rear.

Only issue I had was I had to grind or trim a bit of metal off of the support bracket for the air ride sensor arms.....no biggie at all. Other than that.....no probs.

I was running them still am,,,I did break both sensors however there is a link here i.e. a post that shows moving the sensors round meaning giving more space from the wall of the tire works well
