35s vs 37s with my current rim and lift specs, please help me decide!

Hello Tundra forum! As some of you all may know, I am new to this community and also new to owning a tundra. I have been dreaming of getting a tundra for many years and have been finally blessed to get one. I will never go back to any other truck now! Okay so on to the topic.

The tundra I purchased came with a 6" suspension lift. This is done with having BDS UCAs, Fox coilovers with NO spacers, and what looks like is a RCX sub frame. The rear just has a block and fox shocks. The wheels are 20x9 with a 0mm offset Currently running 35x12.5 Nitto TG that are near bald, he did not do any BMC or trim any inner fender liners And there is no rubbing, currently.

So now that those specs are out there, from what I read, BDS recommends a 6-1/4" backspacing to run 37x12.5s. With have a 0mm offset that puts me at a 5" backspacing. So my wheels stick out more than they recommend but I am okay with chopping and cutting . If putting 37x12.5s on the wheel with my current wheel set up and lift, will I run into any problems other than the normal BMC and trim the inner fender liners? I am also tossing around in my mind about running the coachbuilder 1" spacer and 1" rear shackle kit, as well as a 1/2" bumper shim kit. But this will only be done if it helps with clearing the 37x12.5 tires. I will attach photos of the current wheel set up while the wheel being turned.

Thank you guys for tour time and sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am learning this whole new world and I have not been able to find much about 0mm offset on 37s.

 

35's are the sweet spot for these trucks from both a clearance, and gearing standpoint. 37s bring a whole new world of pain. BMC, regear, fender reshaping, MPG worse, braking worse, towing worse, ride worse etc. Make sure you want that smoke.

 

Hey man, welcome! Definitely check out the 'DIRTY-SEVEN CLUB' thread.

With a 6" lift, most likely won't need to do much to clear your 37's. You're on the right path to fit them, but definitely BMC will make sure you won't rub. Alignment will come into play as well with caster adjustments.

 

x2 on this. LOL.

 

I definitely have thought about this, and I do agree. I am 60/40 with 60 being stay 35s. I do drive this beast everyday and also haul the family in it. The alignment is already set for 35s and it doesn't rub any with 35s. I do like the way 37s look, but 35s are just better overall for a daily driver. TBH, I probably won't ever take this off road either as I live in the city.

 

You can also sell your wheels and get 17 inch wheels and be good to go and save weight at the same time.

 

You know, I actually prefer smaller wheels, the truck came with 20s, but I like the look of 17s and 18s better. The taller side wall makes it ride better too

 

40’s are the new 37’s. Just sayin…

 

Don't get me thinking man!

 

I run a 17 inch icon with 37 inch tires and love it. I had the chop done and I still get some tiny rubbing if I am fully turned to the left or right and come up a driveway curb or something similar. Still worth it to me so far.

 

My truck is on 37s with 0 offset. Midtravel setup - lots of tundras are running 37s with 0 offset. Had to do a CabMountRelocation and needed to smack the pinch welds in. With a drop bracket lift, may not need as much

 

37s is the correct answer here.

 

When you say that it may not need as much, are you implying that a cab mount relocation was not necessarily needed but just a BMC would suffice?
