Feedback on my path to 37's
#41
makes sense I was looking at a set of 38x15.50x15s and I was trying to figure out just how in the hell that would work and if my 3.75 bs would work or if I need different wheels or what

I think that would rub badly. Figure it's 1/4" further out but 3" wider. That's a monster tire man.

Anyone with 37's running open diffs? I'm about to regear to 4.88 and I'm not sure that I want to spend the money on lockers due to the fact that I wheel very little and I live in a very flat area, no hard wheeling or anything...

Have you ever felt the need for them? With 37s properly aired down you'll be able to conquer a lot, especially if you're flexy enough. Personally, living and wheeling in CO I feel the need for lockers. It makes the trails we run safer. Remember to build for the future use of your rig too.

I guess I could see where they could come in handy, but here in Georgia, there's not a lot of stuff technical enough to need lockers. I agree with what you said about build it for the future, I just think for where I live and how I wheel currently, I could put lockers on the back burner for a little while.

Thats not a typo?
those tires will actually alter your width a good bit for trail riding, almost like bringing a Jk on trails built by tj's or cjcj's post pictures, that should look pretty cool!

Not a typo, I definitely need wider wheels to pull that off. 3" wider yes, but only half of that is on the "inside" of the jeep
