Internet detectives apply within (BFG KM3 110 Rubicon truck)
I am very much liking the look of the white 110 in the BFG KM3 Rubicon event, as shown in the following YouTube videos:

&t=308s

&t=165s


However I am struggling to understand what size tyres they are, and no amount of pausing the video is allowing me to see the sidewall numbers.

It looks like they are mounted on the 17" Predator alloy, and the commentator in one of the videos mentions "37s". But surely they aren't 37" tyres? I was not aware that was even possible on a non-absurdly lifted truck. While it looks like the rear arch has been trimmed a bit, they don't seem to be sticking out too far from the standard arches.

Any ideas what size they might be, or where I can find more information out on the build? Its the perfect looking 110 monster truck look in my eye which I would like to investigate replicating further Very Happy 2005 Td5 90 XS

Hmm I might have a clue to follow, looks like they were built by the "4x4 Center":

OK answering my own post. Why is it I always find the answer out myself within a few minutes of posting a question?

Yes they are 37" tyres. Well I am now confused why the 35" tyres on the following Defender look so massive compared to these?

Looks to me like they have definelty extended bump stops on as they don’t tuck in as tight to the top of the arch. You can guarantee with it being a promo that every truck will have been gone through to make sure nothing touches or rubs anywhere.

I had 35 x 12.5 r15 on 8” rims on my defender and they didn’t stick out on standard arches. A lot of 37” tyres, and 35” for that matter do not actually measure up and tend to be under sized.

A lot of difference I think is down to the rim width / off set which on the 35’s on steels is bigger than the predator alloys with 37’s

The Americans seem to be masters of fitting huge tyres to trucks, without them looking too big or out of place. I used to think it was just the defender that didn’t look good on large tyres, but the BFG truck proves that’s not the case as it looks great. 2014 Keswick Utility 2.2
