Wondering if anyone has experience running 37s on their Wildtrak without spacers?

I have a 2023 Wildtrak with 2" Eibach spring lift, SVC Off Road UCAs, 35 BFGs on Method 105 bead lock wheels, and heavy after-market front/rear bumpers (winch, rear jerry cans and jack, etc.).

If your method 105s are the -38mm offset ones it shouldn’t be an issue. I didn’t have to hack the frame up all with mine,cause it pushed everything out far enough to clear. I did have to take the end caps off the modular bumper when I still was using it.

Many are running 37 x 12.50 on zero offset wheels w/o spacers. By all accounts there is slight rubbing on the crash bar mounts and inner fender liners at full stuff, full lock.

Zero and negative offset wheels definitely help the clearance issues but also add some significant positive scrub radius for 37s with oem control arms. Increased wear and tear.

just a comment, not saying I wouldn’t run zero offset wheels.

Not a wildtrack, but I have a Badsquatch running 37x12.5x17 BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 on Method 703 0 offset wheels with the JKS max tire clearance kit. (no body or suspension lift at this point, Method wheels and JKS kit are my only modifications) I went on a hard trail and found a few spots that I was rubbing on, with the inside lip of the fender flare being one of the spots and the back edge of the capable bumper looking like another.

Anyone re-geared their differential (ring and pinion) when going to 37s? Necessary for Moab off roading with 37s?

Regear your steering? That is a very costly proposition. Do you happen to mean regear your differential (which happen to be a ring and pinion)?

Your 4.70 gearing will be fine for 37s.
