18” Wheels: Rays TE37 Large P.C.D. Mounted + BFG KM3 Mud Terrain 35x12.5 Tires!

[Earthxploration]

Volk TE37 LARGE P.C.D. PROGRESSIVE II
18x9 +0 Bronze / 6x139
BFG KM3 Mud Terrain 35x12.5

Removed the harmonics extension in the front two wheels to make 18” wheels fit. Other than that, no modifications required.

Additionally, just so that everyone is aware, these wheels have a load rating of 2100lbs per wheel, 8400lbs total.

This specific application works for me because I don’t intend on towing or stowing heavy cargo. This is a simplistic street overland/baja truck, which I will continue to lighten over time.

I do have a pair of 20x9.5” Rays with the same specifications that have a 2600lb load rating for more heavier applications that I may keep to swap when necessary.

No rubbing, no issues with turning radius. The truck doesn’t feel any heavier thanks to the steer by wire system.

Overall, very happy with the stance! There’s room for wider @Unpluggedperformance CF fenders if necessary. YEEHAW

Been waiting for someone to do an 18/35 combo.

Is the offset a preference or needed for clearence. Id love to see a factory offset/tire width on 35" x 18" wheels.

Volks are very light, hope they can handle the weight and torque stresses.

Thanks mate!

The offset is both a preference and requirement to clear the lower arm, especially for running wider tires. The stock tires only give 2-3mm of spacing.

I may add carbon fiber fenders down the road.

These wheels are rated at 8400lbs. I don’t plan to tow or stow any heavy cargo, so it’s viable for my needs. But, you’re right, if someone were to tow or haul heavy cargo, this won’t work.

I actually have the same wheels in 20” that have a 10,400 lb load rating, which I may eventually mount with 37” tires lol.

Nice!! Planning on a set of 18 method bead grips once the stock tires are worn out. Looks awesome!

Lovin' that stance and beefy tires

This is just too good! Heavily support TE's on the CT.

Man, I REALLY like that set up, great job!

 

[SSonnentag]

That really does look great! I bet it will be have much better off-road traction with the more aggressive tread as well.

How does it drive? Do you notice a big difference. Is it still smooth?
