    37x 12.50R 17 tire upgrade on CUCV

    40's are the new 35's 🤣 They look good. How bad is the power with those? I felt like 37's were always at the acceptable limit. When I say acceptable limit I mean slower then a Prius but faster then a golf cart.

    37x 12.50R 17 tire upgrade on CUCV

    I use 4" loft springs that ORD sells which I think are Tuff Country? I had the Goodyear MTs on a wide rim which I think came off of a Ford. They are the widest and most offset that probably ever came from the factory for a 16.5" rim.. You will need to trim unless you have stiff springs and dont...

    37x 12.50R 17 tire upgrade on CUCV

    Gotcha Mine arent the custom ones. I'm pretty sure the axle location is stock. I had a solid axle Toyota and I think the suspension was like 3 or 4" forwards. Its the only way to keep big tires out of the sheetmetal. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

    37x 12.50R 17 tire upgrade on CUCV

    Is that a thing? I know you could get a custom spring but I've never seen an off the shelf one for a square Chevy. Plenty of Toyota SAS springs are like that but I never saw in for this application unless you did rears up front. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    37x 12.50R 17 tire upgrade on CUCV

    Ouch I fit 37's by just notching the lower rear corner of the fender. Also, the best mod you can do is redrill the front spring perch forward an inch. It does require crossover steering and maybe an extended driveshaft but it eliminates hacking the fender to pieces with 37's. Sent from my...
