I need to make one, missed like the last 5. I need to check in on Kody too, see how he's doing on the Yota.

Curious what you meant by there only being a difference only an inch of difference from center of wheel to the outside?

35 BFG/37 Nitto

Those grapplers must have been racing slicks

Agreed. I've had 35x12.50x17 in both km2 and trail grapplers and km2 run hella small. More like a true 33

You are incorrect. According to the Nitto spec sheet for the 37x12.50 the width is 13.43". I did make one mistake in my post - my friends smaller 37s were Mickey Thompsons not ProComps

I also didn't ask first. I was under the understanding that you were talking about the mud grapplers. My off road friend is running them and they are 13.5. Which are an inch wider.

Looks pretty good from the pictures he posted.

Hope you and him can make it.

35 inches divided by 2 equals 17.5.
37 inches divided by 2 equals 18.5.
From center hub to outside is only inch extra on clearance. I'm not against it, in fact I'm going from km2 35's to sst 37's. I love how quiet my km2's are and how tough they are, but I just want bigger.
