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

[Earthxploration]

@Earthxploration... That's looks perfect. I'm a huge KM3 fan.

What's the backspacing on those wheels?

Do you have a spec sheet you can share on those? It would be good starting information for people searching for wheels from other makers that fit.

Yes sir!

The Strength for All Seasons

Developed for full-size, genuine off-roaders and incorporating the true sports performance that VOLK RACING is known for, the TE37 LARGE P.C.D. MODEL pioneered the advantage of lightness in the 4x4 market. Now the latest version has arrived, the TE37 LARGE P.C.D. PROGRESSIVE MODEL II. The design, specifications, and finish have all been updated and RAYS has once again pursued the strength, lightness, responsiveness, and durability that the ideal wheel should possess. Whilst wheels also play an important role as a partner for tires that need to be changed with the seasons, the TE37 LARGE P.C.D. PROGRESSIVE MODEL II is truly effective no matter what the conditions. Trust that lightness is always the most effective weapon.

Finally some nice looking wheels.

Put the 20’s on!

I think the MSpec would look better, also these seems to be out of spec due to the CT weight. Unless I am wrong to figure out the proper load rating of wheels don’t you take the rear axle weight and divide by two?

Just asking so we can get a better understanding of proper wheel load rating, at 2100 depending on the CT it would be underrated. Truck is beautiful…. Thanks!

I trying to make 37s fit right now! 35x12.5/20.

My shop says I’m fine as long as I don’t tow, which I don’t plan to.

The vehicle weight on the AWD is 6800 lbs and my bed usually stays empty.

The KM3 tires help with the load as well.

But yes, to be fully fully safe, I may run the 20” on 37” tires soon!

Honestly, I was afraid it was going to be too much but the offset is very fitting for the truck. Glad you like it!

It's what I love about these forums... get to have someone else go first and then I can copy ?

I've modified a ton of vehicles - this one is challenging. On the one hand it's a truck and i like bigger, beefier wheel/tire combo, on the other hand its a performance car. Think this is a good balance. I'm torn right now on 20s vs 18s and leaning towards the 20's, so will be interested to see if you take this leap to 20/37's.

Keep us posted and thanks for being an early adopter/inspiration.

LOL! Funny you mention that. I was on the highway yesterday minding my own business when this mustang revs me up. I left him no choice but to dust him while driving on off road tires lol.

My setup is an oxymoron - Volk racing wheels with mud terrain slow moving tires haha.

I love every bit of it!

I was just at my shop looking at my 20s.

With my 0 offset and 35" tires I get a small amount of rubbing in full lock on the front tires...ever so slightly but does rub the inner wheel well plastics. curious you aren't getting any. Looks good, love the wheels

Are you planning to upgrade the suspension? It seems like UP has the only legit lift kit headed for production.

I appreciate you! Curious, what tires are you running? I do know that BFG runs smaller than other tires, most likely why I have no rub at all

Could be true. I have the Falken wildpeak at4w tires. 285/75R18. Measures 35.1” tall according to Falken’s website

Ohhhh yeah could be! I think mine measure more like 34.9”. Are your wheels 18x9 +0?

 

[Metr0nome]

Yep

 

[SoCalSteve]

I'm not a rim guy, but these are some of the best aftermarkets I've seen.

I do absolutely love those tires, though.

 

[precisiononedesign]

Are you running hub centric rings? Possible center caps?

 

[Firepower2010]

Curious, how did your 20x9.5 set up work out? I believe you mentioned it was a 0 offset, so I imagine it's the F3? curious, as I was eyeing something along those lines..

 

[supastar]

Pls post a full side view of the TEs! 18s & 20s for comparison, I never seen TE37s on American trucks, especially cybertruck's unique look!

Looks great

Do you have pictures that are not in perspective, just from the side, front and back? they look amazing. Im just trying to see how it looks from the side and from the front and back, without any perspective. Thank you!
