Why doesn't anyone make wide 37's?!!

02bigstrokin · May 31, 2015

13.50 just doesn't cut it. Especially now all these companies coming out with wider and wider wheels and the tires sizes don't change. I get asked all the time why I didn't put wider tires on my 14" wide wheels, and it's the same answer every time, because nobody makes anything. honestly thinking about dropping back to a 20 just to be able to run the Mickey Thompson mtz 15.50 wides..

I know what you mean. I have a number of local buddies running 37x13.5's in the same boat. Myself Ive been running 38x15.5x20 and now x22 between two superduty's since 2006. Both on 10.5" of lift. Kind of contrary however, due to keeping myself from being pulled over and ticketed too much, I'm stuck running the 38x15.5 on 10" wide wheels. I'd would of rather gone to 12" but I couldn't make it out of the county without being pulled over.

Depending on your manufacturers choice a 36x 15.50 may be the same height. Bfg and a couple others run small.

Mickey thompson runs closer in size.

or as suggested go up to a 38.

Why would you be getting pulled over? What law are you (or would you be) breaking?

Some places wheel sticking outside the bodyline will get you pulled over quicker than chit.

Yup like here in Hawaii if your tires are sticking out more than 1.5 inches out your fender and you don't got a "recon" sticker on your rear bumper.

You will get pulled over and you will get a ticket for not having "recon" (Vehicle Reconstruction Permit) and to get that permit it requires fender flares and mud flaps.

Yeah the 36x15.50r20 is the tire I like. I like my 22's better but there aren't any 15.50's for 22's unless you go 40's. Now they have 22x16 and 24x16 wide wheels and still the widest tire available is 13.50 until you get to 40's. My 13.50's are stretched on my 14 wide wheels I can't imagine the same tire on a 16 wide wheel. Lol

I got a hold of one of the last sets of the Toyo Mt lookalike fuel mts 38x15.5x22 before fuel was forced to change their tread design to what they currently have now which is way too street looking for my liking. They still make this size, only in the new tread design though. I don't know what I'd do if I blow a tire or when these wear out. Nothing else in this size.
