eek I don't think so, 37's on stock wheels with only a level kit is pushing it. Depends on the tires, wheel backspacing, etc. Longer control arms is a must.

Cheapest quality arms I have seen were around $500-600. I have been told you can possibly fit 37's on a level kit if you get the arms and have wheels that are the same, or really really close backspacing to stock wheels.

I know you can do it on stock wheels Ive seen the post stock with big meats.

Im not sure what kind of Level kit my truck has but There is about 2 inches of clearance between the my 35s and fender at full turn. I think I might have room if anything ill have to zip tie some of the plastic inner fender back alittle

Thumbs down Leveling might not do it :(

What fits -n- what hits

I didn't get a pic, but the 37X13.50R20 Kumhos hit so bad that the power steering won't even turn it. If I jack the truck up 3" they do clear barely.

Longer Control Arms won't help here!


HotWheels D-Back (KMC)

OEM Rim 17x8 +43.18mm Offset

The rims are 20x8.5 with +25mm Offset. By looking, I can't believe another 3/4" (43.18mm "stock") would make the difference as in this thread Stock-W/Big Meat!!!
there is only a 1/2" difference on the Backspace plus the rim is an 1/2" wider (1/4" on each side of center). Now I need some overtime and a Lift, the question is "how much"? Lifting it 3" with the jack is enough to turn, but that is minimum.


The overall width mounted is 12-3/8" (strapped 4 wide in back of truck is 49.5") and about 36.75" diameter
thought that would be the key ,
but it's the Offset/Backspace (SAE measurments - OEM 43.18mm = 1.7", 25mm = .984").
Somebody has to make OEM Backspace rims?

The good news is, they don't rub the Control Arms

Oh well, they didn't build Rome in a day

yeah, that is why it's retarded to get any rims beside stock 3rd gens, or, H2's if you like the look of and selection of tires available for the 18's...
