Got my 37's on!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Paul72 · 10-09-2007, 08:17 PM

Thought I'd share a couple of pics of the SG with 37's. I picked up a set of four tires on eBay for $234 to my door! Makes it look much better than then it did with the 31's!

Paul

BTW the truck has a 6" suspension lift and a 1" body lift. I haven't experienced any tire rub as of yet, but I need to get out and play with it!

I also have that pass side exhaust fixed, too.....

jkade · 10-09-2007, 08:35 PM

I like them military tires. Are they 16 or 16.5?

herb101 · 10-09-2007, 08:39 PM

Looks cool.

**special-K** · 10-09-2007, 08:54 PM

I like it with those big Goodyears.

ProStreet83C10 · 10-09-2007, 08:56 PM

you actually weight balanced those tires?????????????????

**N2TRUX** · 10-09-2007, 10:25 PM

Like the tires. Don't care for the black rims...

71swb4x4 · 10-09-2007, 10:27 PM

Looks good Paul!

earl87gta · 10-10-2007, 03:20 AM

Looks good How do they ride I thought about getting a set I know were I can get them for 600 for a new set. A buy in FYVL NC sells them used and new. I just cant make my mind up if i want a wider tire. I was going to run himmer wheels and those tires but didnt want to have to change my eaton rear out to a wider 14blt to make it work.

Paul72 · 10-10-2007, 05:31 AM

Thanks for the comments!

To answer some of the questions:
They are 16.5 tires
They were not balanced - the tire shop said they were a huge pain to balance and they sometimes use glass beads on the inside of the tire for dynamic balancing. I opted not to go that route and see where they landed balance-wise. They are actually balanced pretty good. The ride quality actually went up from the 31's (more air between the rim and the road) even tho the sidewall is stiffer.
Earl - I also gout these out of Fayetteville as well - Breg's military tire I think. These were used at $125 a set and about $109 for shipping.
The rims are black to cover up the chipping white paint and rust. Not sure what wheels I will end up with. I have other items to fix before I need to worry about that! I liked the look of the Topkick in the transformers movie, tho.

earl87gta · 10-10-2007, 06:51 AM

Sounds like the same place I can never remeber his name. I got a few sets of hummer wheels from him.

earl87gta · 11-22-2007, 07:15 PM

Im thinking of going to the same tire. how did they mesure out are they 37in and 12.5 or are they like mine 36 and 11 just wondering if there closer to the size they say they are.

72BlckButy · 11-23-2007, 08:34 AM

They look great!

Paul72 · 11-23-2007, 05:59 PM

Earl -

By the tale of the tape measure, they seem to be in the 36" range for diameter, and in the 11.5-12" range for width.

earl87gta · 11-23-2007, 06:06 PM

thanks
