Anyone running this OR-Fab tire carrier with 37s?
the website says it only holds up to a 35" but it looks like it will hold a 37 to me

 

sm_rubi & blonda are. it seems to work just fine

 

there is someone running a 40 on one, I have a 35 on mine and its plenty sturdy, I think orfab underrated the capacity.

 

sm_rubi with a 37...

 

I believe GC2M is running a 40" on one (sorry if I mixed up your name hahah )

 

I talked to the OR-Fab rep when I was installing mine. I've only got a 33.5" tire on mine at the moment, but the instructions say that as long as everything is under 200 lbs, you're fine. And one of the OR-Fab guys said that he's been running a 40 on his carrier without any problems.

 

I run a 35 and it's never moved on or off road.

boots on here runs a 37.

 

Yep! 37's on the JKU and 35's on the JK both on that carrier and no problems at all!!!

 

thanks for all the replies guys
how about the install is it something that just takes a few hours in the garage or more involved?
also how about anyone running into problems with knocking or rubbing?

 

Few hours in the garage for sure...you do have to cut into the body near the rear tail light so if that makes you queezy you may want to find one that rests on the bumper... all in all, it wasn't too terribly hard and I haven't had any squeaking or rubbing on either one.
