| Someone want to offer up a 37" tire and wheel (or two, or four) to test fit on my rig? I'll provide beer... I don't want to buy 35s and then wish I had the 37s...
I think the 35s will be sufficient...but with the new fenders there is LOTS of room. | |

| I'll save you that beer. Go to the Discount Tire by the Silverado Theater. Ask for Travis. I'll bet he'll let you test fit a 37. He let me test fit a set of Nitto Terra graplers. Even unmounted my oem tire mounted the nitto and remounted and balanced my oem tire. He'll take care of you. | |

| If you are not scared to trim the 37's will fit. If you add a 1" body lift they will fit with only minor trimming. Of course wheel offset will have an impact as well.
When I bought my JK the 3" lift I wanted was on back order so for two weeks or so I ran 37's w/ only a 1" body lift and 3/4" spacers. They rubbed only slightly on the flares when during street driving. Never wheeled it like that obviously.
Fully flexed out even 35's will contact factory flares AND body unless trimming is performed or flex is limited substantially with bumpstops.
