5 37x12.5 tires in a Bronco Raptor for transport?

[defector69]

Not wheels just tires. Using all space including front seat. Has anyone done this? Found this image and was told max is 4…trying to pick up 5 new tires on the cheap in the Braptor. Can I? Who has tried this?

Not sure if 5 would fit, but why not rent a small trailer and keep the inside clean? If it is a local to you pick up, I think Lowe’s rents a pickup for $20ish. TSC rents trailers I believe, but I do not know what they cost to rent.

Strap one to the roof? Easy tie down points on the Raptor.

If one had a wheel you could use the spare mount lol

Take off the top and go vertical?

I fit 5 sasquatch tires on the wheels in, but it was a TIGHT fit. We had to deflate one.

I was unsuccessful fitting 5 Raptor rims & tires in my Braptor. YMMV

4 37's is the max.. you can fit 5 315/70's though

5 fit tightly….4 is not the max

You are a better man than I.
A schematic illustrating how you shoehorned them in there is appreciated

3 in second row. You have to compress/squish them slightly and let them lean at an angle of 10-30 degrees. See photo. This is the trick. Getting them under and past the rear crossmember takes slow manipulation.

Then the easy part - 2 in the trunk stacked about 10 degrees off horizontal tilted towards the front. The rear door also required another 1/4-3/8 of compression on the tire as well.

So not an inch to spare.

Coming out is easy. 2 rear tires are nothing and then pull out the middle tire of the 3 and the other 2 tires collapse.

My seller was also an engineer and he helped me figure it out and helped to squish the tires in. Without him, I would have given up.

I don't have a picture, I forgot to take one, but I can confirm that all 5 tires will fit inside the Raptor. I recently bought a new Raptor and replaced the BF Goodrich tires with Mickey Thompsons and was able to fit all 5 inside. It's very tight, but it does work.
