37" x 12.5 R17 KM2's @ £150 a piece new!

[BRE Fabrications LTD]

I have been on the lookout for a set of 37" KM2's for my 80. Just ordered a set of 5 from these guys at £150 each, considering I paid £180 a tyre (285/75/16 KM2) 4 years ago, this seems dirt cheap.

Just thought I'd share in case anyone is in the market for 37's...

Didn't realise you had 17" rims Ryan. Thought you were going for 35"s too. By they are a very good price indeed. Well done.

I bought a set of 17" Steel rims from Silverline with a 32mm offset, which should help keep the tyres off the chassis rails when things get a little flexy. They should hopefully arrive early next week. Just the diffs to sort out then.

Sound similar to mine. Just make sure you set the bump stops. When I put 37's on, they munched the flares. They don't fit inside the arch anymore when you flex. They stick further out than that.

You going 4.56? I found that was fine. You can go 4.88 but I am not sure it's necessary.

 

[BRE Fabrications LTD]

No, going 4.88's. Bumpstops are currently dropped 125mm. I have a big hammer if need be.

Resistance is futile Stu, it's a sign that they are that cheap. Hell they are cheaper than 285's...

Bloody 'eck, can't wait to see them on some metal and bolted up!

What a bargain, now I'm in the same soup as Stu, ......

Nice set of boots.

 

[clivehorridge]

Just worked out I'd need to go to 315/85/16 to match them on a 16" dia rim.

Hey Clive,

I don't think BFG do a tyre in that size. Biggest KM2 on a 16" rim I found in the UK was a 315/75 In the states they do a 354/75 (36.4") and a 365/75 (37.5"). That is why I went for 17" steel wheels.

PS: Just checked the link and it seems they are now sold out...

Thank f***k for that, decision made for me

Cheers for the info, but I might try going for 35s on my next purchase, BFG ATs, I think that would be 315/75/16, which they do stock IIRC.

My BFG KM2s are hardly worn, so I can't justify another set of them for a while.
