37s! Method 316 wrapped in BFG KO3 37x12.50R17 with white lettering

[wildtrak whitey]

Finally pulled the trigger. Went from Sasquatch sized toyo rt trails on stock rims to this setup. Shed 14lbs per corner.

Method 316 17x8.5 0 offset - 25lbs

BFG KO3 37x12.50R17 F rated - 66 lbs

23 wildtrak (HOSS 3.0) with zone 2.25 lift and JKS max clearance kit.

I really like the white lettering. Wanted nomad convoys but they are backordered. Happy with how it turned out. No rubbing or fitment issues. Spare even fit before adding brake light extension.

That looks amazing. I have a 2024 WT and will be looking to do the same exact thing as soon as the stock tires wear out.
F rated tires? Are they super stiff or more flexible. Thought the C rated tires were more flexible leading to a nicer street ride. Truth be told I don’t know a ton about tires so….
How’s the ride with the lift, new offset, and tires?
Really looks very cool.

Appreciate it. I'm tickled.

F rated weren't my first choice. But they were the only thing available in that size in the KO3, which is the only 37 I considered that checked all my boxes. C rated are supposed to be released next month.

They are a bit stiffer than the d rated toyos I came from, but not bad. Shop put them at 40psi. I'll drop bit by bit and see how much they soften. But I'm happy with ride as is.

Cutting as much weight as I did, the increase in size isn't super noticeable. I can feel a slight difference with the wider stance and increased height, but acceleration feels just as snappy and I haven't had an mpg decrease yet.

I ran the lift and clearance kit for 6-8 months with old tires/wheels and the very slight degradation in ride quality was well worth the stance gain. I think it rides great. But I'm a solid axle 3/4 ton guy. And my previous non-truck ride was lifted eco diesel Rubicon.

I'm not a reliable ride quality reference.

Gotta admit I’m shocked that F rated 37s of any type really clocked in lighter than 35” Toyos

Are those the 37x13.5 tires, BFG doesn't even show the 37x12.5 as available yet?

 

[wildtrak whitey]

Sorry, link wouldn't work.

They have been available at discount tire for a minute. Despite not being listed on bfg site.

C rated drop May 1st

 

[dangerfoot]

That's the weight for C rated, not F rated. Something is off.

And nice setup. Have WT and almost ended up w zone. Running 37 BFG Cs on Vr601s. Oxford white for the win

Sharp looking rig!

 

[Fatfireman]

Either way, that is a great looking rig. That stance is perfect.

Backarcha man. Like the white letter out...I almost went retail for that option but the cheap OEM takeoffs were too much a deal to pass on.

Appreciate it. Very happy with the look.

Like the white letter out.

Until you start rubbing rocks

Really like the wheels and surprised how little poke there is from 0 offset on a 12.5 tire (SAS flares help). Everybody is different on poke preference. I like the tire just covered so on 12.5 I'm thinking +18 for me on 37/12.5 on same wheels. Thanks for the pics!
