37s? Inconceivable!

Mock up:

Cooper Discoverer 37x12.50r17 Actual measurement 35.5"
Factory Steelie 17x8 +24mm
117 lbs wheel + tire

Current setup:

285/70-18 (33.7") Actual measurement 32.5"
KMC 18x9 +18mm
97 lbs wheel + tire

I would have to trim or remove some plastic here.



Slight contact on the rear section of the fender. Most likely taken care of by a Norcal mod.

Thoughts before upgrading?

I think you'll be just fine if you trim that part of the air dam and can always drive straight and never have to turn the wheel!

(Jokes aside, the real problem isn't fitting it in the wheel well, it's turning the wheel and making contact with the knuckle. Let alone when going over bumps or dips when the suspension loads and unloads.)

Agreed.

I need as much clearance as possible for those events especially around the rear part of the fender. I used to rub there with my current setup turning into an incline. I had to push the liner back a little.

The ring and pinion gearing would have to be pretty steep also.
