[QUOTE="Ramrodthrusterpuppy, post: 572626, member: 5125"] I'm running 37/12.50/17 BFG ATs on the SVT Beadlock wheels with mid-perch for my Winter tire set up. No rubbing....plenty of room through the turning radius. I've also done some mild wheeling (trails at speed, low speed wheeling, no big jumps) again, I've not had tire contact. IMO, the key to making 37s fit with minimal modifications is wheel offset. The more that the wheel is pushed out from the hub (negative offset), the more likely that the tire will rub/make contact with the fender well, fender or fender flare. Stick with OEM (+34) offset and an "undersized 37" tire (BFG ATs are actually 36.3" tall) and you should be fine unless you really articulate the suspension offroad. Also, any other tire that has a more aggressive tread and/or is closer to the actual 37" size (Toyo MT comes to mind as I think those are actually 37" tall), you will need further mods (i.e.: removal of wheel well liners, grinding/hammering of pinch wells or 'glass fenders). To me, the 37/12.50/17 BFG AT and SVT beadlock combo looks great. I would like a bit more offset to widen the stance a touch with these wheels and could probably run ~1/2" spacers if I wanted to accomplish that. And yes, 1/2" spacers would be fine and not cause any issues. [/QUOTE]
