How much backspacing do I need to clear 37s?

If you want to move to 37s, look for a beadlock with 3.5" BS. That really starts to limit your options, but it is what it is.

Nothing "wrong" with them per se......(speaking specifically of the 105s) not my personal choice in general as far as looks and overall quality IMO, but as mentioned, they sure offer a ton of value at that price point. I'd rather have more bolts, wider ring, better interior design myself....but it's all personal preference. If budget wasn't an issue, I would have gone with Hutchinsons. Like Racelines, KMC Machetes, ATX or various others better as far as design.....but they all cost considerably more as well. My 105s just hit my doorstep. Price won out for me after Dirty Life debacle.
I'd also say there are a lot of designs I like better.....but once you move to 3.5" BS, the options shrink.

^ yep. They weren't my first choice looks or quality wise either, but $285 a wheel was also hard to pass up. When I say quality wise I mean the wheels are tapped for the beadlock rings, unlike the threaded inserts used in the ATX and Spyderlock wheels. If you use liberal amounts of anti-seize on all the bolts, you shouldn't have any problems. My buddy didn't use any on his Spyderlocks, and just had to drill EVERY single bold out when he swapped his tires. Real PITA, but I guess that's why the threaded inserts are clutch.
Looks wise...they look a little mall crawler-y I suppose, especially since they make the 305(?) Method wheels which is a simulation beadlock that looks identical to the 105's. Good thing is, shops don't refuse to touch them...since I lie and tell them they're "simulation beadlocks" hehehehe...

I had about 5 holes on 2 of my rims arrive with the threads pealed out (not tapped correctly). I didn't catch this until my final torque sequence. Ended up having to find some threaded inserts and installing them. I have not heard of another having this issue so I guess I was just lucky.
I have about 70k miles and my 2nd set of tires (37 km2's and now 37" cooper stt pros) and have been perfect ever since.
Had a tough time finding someone to balance them since they were beadlocks though. Nobody would touch them. Should have told them they were fake!
