I went through many tire / rim issues to get them to work with my 6" Pro Comp lift with 35's. The back set can't be more than 6" max. 4 Wheel Parts are doing quite a few now and have info much better these days. Another issue is depth of tire, 35x12.5 is good, and those 37's you see are most likely 12.5, not 13.5 which is common on big trucks or they would not clear w/o cutting bumper and or under fender out too. If you are just using coil over lifts you can use many more options and not run into clearance problems. Deznut made a good point that offraod is not just for 4x4. I and many of my friends have run 2wd all over the place, you just need to pay more attn to where and how you drive not to get stuck. Way more offraod is done on 2 wd
than 4. Even with 4 by option I only switch if it looks likely to get stuck or in it and cant get out. lastly the talk of I can run 37's w/o clearance problems if I am not offroad is a serious false sense of security ! There are many dips and bumps on pavement that will ruin your year when you hit one with the wheel turned and it rips the shit out of your bumper and or fender. Do your reseach and flat out measure and do math your self to be sure.
