Anyone with 35, 36, or 37" x 14.50 tires how much backspacing do your wheels have? Also do you have 10" or 12" wheels?
How about gears? Did you re gear with 4.56, 4.88, or 5.29?
Thanks
Chris Griffith

There should be a ton of info on these topics if you search. I have 35s with 4.88 gears, thats about as close as you can get to keeping the speedometer accurate. Lower gears (5.26) will make it harder to use your truck on the freeway.

thanks for the info, I have been searching for a while now the only stuff I could find on 35" tires was how much lift was needed to fit them and whether or not you needed to hammer the fender. Also I couldnt find anything on gearing for 35" tires. Maybe Im just using the search wrong, sorry if it upset you.

I've run 35 & 36 x12.5 (x15) and 37x13.5 with 4.88s and a 5 spd, always found it to be a good match.
The wheels are Champion beadlocks, must be 10s, which makes them more like an 11 when Champion sets them up to accept the lock ring. They were a secondhand offering, and I've never had occasion or need to take the specs. If I had to guess I'd say they're 3.5" backspacing. I whack the snots out of my fenders with what's a sagging 5" sas (36s fit well when the springs were fresh), but they still don't bind on the steering, suspension, or frame.
