Best tires Rubi 2.5 35/37?
I have been reading so much I am cross eyed. I have a 2011 rubi suspension, 2.5TF BB and thought I was going with 35s. I have 373 but will Regear in the next few months. I don't do any heavy off roading only trail riding. Everything I keep reading says 35s run small. If there a tire I can get that is a real 35? Now I am thinking 37s or 36! So confused.

Not sure if you have a 2 or 4dr. For what you are doing 35s will look and perform fine without having to do a lot. I don't remember from my research if you still need to trim your pinch seams or not. Even with 35s you may still need to add spacers depending on back spacing. I chopped my fenders and pinch seems and added 1.25" body lift on top of my TF 2.5" coil kit. Even then with 37" km2s that are not true 37s I had to stub my midwidth chop and add spacers to my wheels that have 3.75" back spacing to avoid rubbing my frame at full clip. A lot of little things but I love it. ******* has a good write up on fitting 37s if you really want to go for it. That is my experience. Hope that helps.

It does, I have a 4door and I am running method double standards 17x8.5 4.75 back spacing. I think I will run 35s just trying to find the largest one. I hate that the km2 is really a 33-34. I have had mtrs and have rubicon Kms currently.

it is true, the KM2 37s are a little over 36 but aired down closer to 35". To be honest though with a 2.5" lift and the body lift and trim, I am kind of glad I did not go true 37s cause I would be stuffing them all the time and would have to go with more bumpstop etc. Then I would just be looking for a slightly taller lift. For my current budget it works.

I am buying 5 MTR/K Tuesday. I have had BFG KMs and MTRs and both seem close. The MTRs seem to run about 34.25 so I will go with them. I am paying for 35s I may as well get as close as possible, lol
