37 12.50 17 MTR's of course! Wheel it until it breaks and then SAS. I think it'll last longer than everyone seems to think.

My 36's measure out to the same size as most 37's on the market. You'll be fine as long as your smart, you already upgraded to the the front ARB (which gets rid of the weak stock spider gears). I would get some Lotus axles for the front and call it good, yeah you'll break stuff but not much more than with 35's.

My next set of tires will be a popular brand of 37's, while I love the radial Iroks they are too expensive and wear too fast.

And those wheels look killer! I have the same on my Tacoma and the winters have killed the finish on them, I might have to give the bronze a shot and see how they look.

Lovin the look on those reworked Methods. Nice! Lookin forward to the final coat/finish. :thumb:

These photos look awful for some reason, but clear coat is on. Imagine these wheels 100x glossier than they look in these photos.

Glad you enjoyed it! First time out to that meet and probably my last hahaha. Hopefully can convince some of them to run some trails

Some of that crowd that goes there is questionable, but most of them aren't that bad.

I'm doing a south rim camping trip this weekend if you're interested.

What paint did you use for the wheels? I'm trying to find the perfect bronze/copper for my wheels/armor and your's look sweet (on the interwebz)

EDIT: Still using this one?

Same paint, different color.







In other news, Facebook appears to like it if you ignore the 20 haters in the comments. I promise to cut so much out of this firewall that these tires don’t rub at all lock to lock. I’m gonna wheel it this weekend and then start chopping in 2 weeks. Gonna drive it to San Diego in a week and see what gas mileage is.

I enjoyed reading the comments on your post. 99% of that group gets thrown for a loop if you don't have a rough country lift and some 33" AT's.

Maybe once I buy a grill I’ll post another photo on there

Send me a message on here or Facebook and we can get you set up. I think you could use some ADS bypasses for the rear too

[MENTION=75445]4Running Daily[/MENTION] - I saw you are running 35's and I'm looking at going to a wider tire but slightly larger the 305/65/17 BFG KM2's. I believe these will fit unlike the 35's I tried that wouldn't even allow me to turn the wheel. I am very impressed with your build and glad to see you moving to 37's =)

I don't want more height to clear tires, just after a better floating tire for snow and such. The body lift is pretty much out of the question due to my limitations of getting in and out of my 4Runner.

Thanks in advance =)

You're probably still going to have some issues clearing such a wide tire. If you're on 17's, the best size would be 285/75/17 and then air down in snow obviously. Those should be a bit easier to clear. Thanks for the compliments!
