Default aftermarket wheel and tires

Im looking into wheel and tire combo's for my mega. I want the moto metal 959 wheel. BUT looking for weight differences in a 35 or a 37 nitto terra graphler, and also would 20 inch combo weight more than a 18 inch combo.. Is there much difference in weight from a 35 to a 37?

Why are you worried about the weight, I dont think they are going to put you over your GVWR.

Yeah, no need to worry bout weight with the Megacab. Your shocks/struts and truck are meant to hack the abuse.
Check out Tirerack.com for tire specs and weight info. they also have wheels and provide you with the wheel weight in different sizes as well.

I have the 325/65/18 if you want to see what they look like on a MC. How big is your lift?

Not meaning to jack his thread, but would 37's be too much stress for a 1500?

Some guys have done it, actually rydesolow has 37's on his truck, I would ask him. Although it isnt quite the same IFS system since yours is an 07 and his is an 02. There are risks to running that size tire, some of it also has to do with how you treat your truck like most things.
