Smile 35's or 37's - Advice?

I'm in the process of designing & building up my stock X 6-Speed Unlimited. What are the pros and cons of 35's vs 37's? I'm regearing, upgrading the front axle (dynatrac pro-rock 44 + arbs), evo coilovers+lever.

I use it as both a daily driver and off-road.

I was initially planning on 35s, but now am thinking why not 37s.

Thanks JK'ers!

With that set up, I definately say 37's. Hell I was debating between 33's and 35's, and I wish I woulda skipped the 35's and went str8 to 37's.

Definitely go for the 37's...it's a great match for the evo system. How much lift are you planning? I'm happy with my 35" Toyo's ride, and low noise. Could have gone to 37's, but not going further than the 3" I currently have.

Go with the 37's, you will be happier that you did.

2 door: 35's
4 door: 37's
looks more balanced IMO.

Everyone is pretty Gung Ho about 37s because they are cool, but they will make your front diff more succesptible to damage, will provide worse performance and will gas mileage.

So balance these CONs against your reasons for going to 37s.
