37x13.5's on factory 17's?

[seventwozero]

I'm pretty torn still, the tires look good on the factory rims but I've really grown attached to the look of my wider, offset wheels. I'm having a bunch of work done tomorrow so I'll make sure to post a picture once I get the truck leveled out. I'd love to have a set of hutchinson beadlocks wheels on there but I know I could never afford them :P

Ya tsdrummerboy,

How is the wear on those? Also, what mileage difference did you notice when you went up the 2 inches in tire size?

Are you running a chip or power pack kit or anything?

And lastly - Great looking rig!!!

My mileage dropped from 11.8 to 10.2 when I went up to 37s, but then I slapped on a Flowmaster exhaust and changed the gears to 4.56s; that put me right back at 11.6. Oh, and I'm running the "performance" tune from a Superchips Cortex.

What does the chip and exhaust cost?

The Superchips Cortex 2950 was a little under $400 and the exhaust was a little over $400.

I traded my stock tires for the toyo`s with 1/2 the tread life on them back in May of this year and I haven`t noticed any wear to date.Mileage....I`m getting around 11.5 mpg with a Diablo predator tunable performance programmer.

There is a seller on ebay with the 37x13.5 toyo's or nittos for just under $1700, or on 18" black rockstars for $2000, 20" for $2200. I thought those wheels cost a little more than that but apparently not huh. The price isn't far off, I've usually seen new online for just under $400 per tire. I just don't get hard for those stock wheels though
