I believe I read something or saw a video clip about 37”s fitting by removing the fender liners.
Which would incredible if it’s true.
Its honestly a little embarrassing as to what lengths and parts are required to fit 35” tires on most Toyotas/Lexus’s.
Even stuffing 33”s without rubbing typically requires massaging fender liners with heat guns, suspension lift, pushing the front wheels forward with aftermarket upper control arms, and
cutting the frame at the body mount and capping it with a plate you have to weld on. You also have to smash a pinch weld on the firewall with a sledge hammer.
Oh, and factor in dropping another $3k on new differential gears if you go beyond 33” tires to correct your final drive ratio.
If Scout manages to let you toss on 37”s by just removing a few screws and plastic liners I will be thoroughly impressed, though I’m curious how that will work with the optional air suspension package.
I’m a little skeptical though about those fitting, and look forward to Scout confirming what will be supported down the road and if warranty comes into play with bigger meats.
My previous vehicle had 34”s and the 3 vehicles before it all had 35” tires.
My current daily has 31” tires and they can get me up about 95% of the same obstacles I did on the bigger tires.
You only gain 1” of ground clearance moving from 35”s to 37”s and it usually costs thousands of dollars (and voiding your warranty in a big way) to do it right.
Im kind of at a weird crossroads in my life where I want the extra rubber for capability and looks, but my practical side wants smaller sizes for better efficiency and range.
@cyure Thank you again for the photos.
Your smile is so wholesome. You really do look like a kid on Christmas morning.
Also stoked you found a yellow one!
