Im more of a 37" tire guy, are we going to need a lift kit or will these squeeze in?

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
Some of ya'll talking 37s already and I'm over here hoping that 33s don't look goofy since we're all so used to seeing 35s on the test vehicles.

Don't get me wrong, 35s are cool. I have 35s on my 06 Wrangler. If I am going to be doing any trail riding, I'll take the LJ. The extent of the offroad my Scout will see will be dirt driveways/parking lots. I want the most efficient trim possible and I figure 33s will get that.
To each there own and that’s the best part of Scout. Being able to individualize them. No need for 35’s but having seen it in person I just think visually I need to do it. Waste of money for me but what the heck. Certainly nothing wrong with 33’s

I’ve always wanted to put 35s on my Wrangler and I just haven’t. And my theory at the moment is you only live once and if not now, when.
 
I’m considering for my Lightning going to 32s for three seasons and keeping the 33s for winter. If I were to start doing more trail driving with the Lightning, I might get a set of wheels and tires specifically for that. But the most I’ll likely ever do in it is forest service roads and very light crawling.
Sounds pretty awesome to me.

A set of highway tires would be nice for trips and day to day activities, and some beefier all terrains for “Overlanding” and adverse weather.

I really love the idea of having a set of 33”s for daily driving, and 37”s for adventures and wheeling trips.

That’s something you can’t really do with most ICE vehicles.
