Those are some amazing pics! I will at some point make it out there from Ohio. The hard part is not wanting to use the Jeep instead, but out west is the only place I could probably drive the PW without pin-striping it on trails meant for ATVs and SXSs. Its been far too long since I've owned a nice vehicle to not be self conscious about scratching it up!

Looks good. Makes me want 35s so bad. I feel that is the proper size tire that fills in the wheelwell best while not having to get into mods and such with 37s.
Thanks. I almost went 37s for the sheer novelty that I could. My sane side thought stock wheels with 35x11.5 ridge grapplers. I went middle ground with wheels and 35x12.5.

Good tire choice, over 5,000 miles since I put mine on and they're still riding great!
Good to hear. Right specs, right look and I like Toyo. Almost went at3 but thought these may hold up better. I live in VA, weather is mild. My duratracs looked smoked after 17k miles. Many factors but the siping combined with the weight of the truck may be one?
Happy so far, hoping they don’t end up howling like the duras after some wear.

its a slight trim with 37's provided you have the correct offset on the wheel.

Update: got 37's

Good looking rig. I won't deny 37s look better, but its the same slippery slope I'm dealing with right now on my Jeep. I want to bump to 37s from 35s, but with that comes all of the other stuff you 'should' mod in order to compensate for them.

Nothing groundbreaking, but my 35” spare “fit” without deflating or heat shield trimming. Touches on 3 sides. Was just test fitting to see where I’d have to modify and I got it tucked up in without.

Nitto Recon Grapplers 35x12.50r17
Tradesman with PowerWagon package, no additional lift. No rubbing, lock to lock, forward-reverse, towing, fire roads, parking lots.
Would like to get an AEV procalsnap to fix the few % my speedo, odo, and mpg are off now... 2in increase in diameter...
Much more plush ride EDIT: took time to notice > hardly a difference in torque, in fact the gearing seems better for feathering the throttle at slow speeds.
Open throttle (which is rare) you can feel the hit, feels as if I've lost a % of HP proportional to the % increase in tire size.
Pros far outweigh the cons.
My stock 285/70r17 Duratracs lasted about 19.5k miles :oops:

Nitto Recon Grappler 35x12.50r17 E-rated 65max psi
Tradesman w/ PowerWagon pkg, no additional lift. No rubbing, lock to lock, forward reverse, towing, fire roads, parking lots. Super stoked. Posted in another forum here when I first got the tires, had some trouble adjusting to the new ride. Pressures are at 48 front 43 rear *cold* now. When I tow and travel inland the temp increases 20° and I go a couple thousand miles up in elevation. These pressures are my "set it and forget it" after fiddling with lower and higher combos. Would like to get the AEV procalsnap thingy to fix the couple of % my speedo, odo, and mpg are off now. Much more plush ride. I will say, my rear end now feels and drives like the 3.73 and I quite enjoy it. Couple of pics have the stock 285/70r17 D-rated Duratracs for comparison.
Great looking truck. Mine is hydro as well and 35s would look so much better on it. I dig your grille over the standard 'mustache' grill too.
