WIll 37" tires fit

[shaggy08xr]

I have an awesome opportunity to pick up a set of 37" tires w/ rims and I was wondering if I would be able to make them work. Currently I have a 3" bl but I'm planning to crank the tb and place some blocks in the rear. Is it possible to run this tire setup with this lift?

Ps. The truck is a 97 gmc sierra extended cab z71

what rims? this would be the major factor

I'm going to say 90% chance you won't fit them without major trimming. Most guys fit 35"s with that setup (3" with 2" B+C) but I have seen one or two with 36" tires with more trimming.

Remember Hunter had 37's with a 3" BL

Yep, that's why I said "90% chance without major trimming" Hunter took a sawzall to his truck multiple times to make those monsters fit.

That's also why I mentioned rim size/offset. Hunter would have had an even harder time if he had say 10" rims with high offset.

But of course he did some major trimming and still had rubbing....

here's a 3" body lift with major cranking and trimming on 37's. Looked totally awesome but rode like a bucket of rocks on a chariot through the rocky mountains

Yea wheels will matter... On the narrow side with a good bit of backspacing. There's a guy on here (I think... maybe on another forum) with an OBS 2-door Tahoe with a 3" BL + crank running 36x12.50x16 TSL's on 16x8 steel Cragar's with 5" backspacing. He didn't need any trimming except to the valence if I remember right.

I'm sorry guys, my instant notification isn't working. Right now I'm not sure on the rims but I have a picture of them. The rims are 20" rims I do know that but he has a 6" lift from what I understand.

Just from that pic it doesn't look like they stick out to far. I would recommend getting a 6" lift or at least a 4" if u have a body lift already. With just a BL and crank it will rub everywhere. I had to cut alot off my front bumper and they beat the crap out of the rear of my front fenders. You won't be able to turn all the way because they will rub the frame. It looks good but I will never do it again, it's annoying off road.

Thanks. Thats what I was worried about. I can't really afford to buy a lift right now so I guess I'm going to pass on the deal.
