38x14.5r15

Sorry, I have to ask. What is the point of running a tire that size? Its ridiculous, Do you have lockers?
Top Gear drove a Hilux shod with 38s to the North Pole. Are you planning on driving there as well?

Ha,
I was thinking the same thing
Umm, Good luck getting those to fit, you'll need at least 4 inches of lift, if not more, the great backspacing on like 10" rims.
Major fender well trimming.
Not to mention the fact if you dont have the gears...5.71's (iThink), Your gonna top out at 45, 50 if your lucky, Thats ontop of your crappy gas mileage.
Oh, And another thing, Your going to have to replace EVERY IFS component about...give or take...minus 14...divide rolling resistance....ONCE A MONTH.
Your going to snap Cv's in half and shear your ring and pinion's...
Anyone have anything else to add?
Besides, why do you need such huge tires...?

uh, 31's BT dub.
Yes, worn wheel bearing, but those are coming soon enough
And you never said I was wrong on any of that.
So your point Mr. Web Wheeler ?

How does your ifs hold up with your current 37s? Have you gone through any cvs? Do you have an open front diff? What kind of angle do your a-arms/cvs have sitting on level ground? I'm probably gonna be going to a size close to that soon and would like some input.

That quite a well known quote, but it kind of misses the point. I very much doubt 38s will become the norm anytime soon.

dont listen to others "tire envy"....not everyone drives their truck everyday and when they do, they wheel it hard....i currently have 39.5 (bald) boggers on my plaything....theyll go down to a 38.5x14x15r after some more suspension work is done. Although i do agree that any tire near or close to this size has no business on an ifs frontend...they will just do more damage than good...
are you just wanting to make a survey of who has what? or are you contemplating purchasing larger rubbbbeeerrrsss?
