Have you flexed with your setup? Any issues?

You can flex just fine with 37’s and a 2.5” lift.

Got it done and I love how it came out with the mopar lift and 1 3/4 spacers. These Cooper tires are great and very quiet for a mud tire.

OK...question. Why is it OK to mount a 12.50 tire on a 7.5 inch wheel if its a 35 but not OK to mount the same 12.50 if its a 37?

Here you go

So did you need the spacers? I am thinking of doing the same with Mastercraft Tires. They are a little under sized so wondering if I need spacers.

Here's another on stock rims, 37x12.5x17 general grabbers. I have spacers sitting in my garage, not sure if I want to put them on though.

Do you think they could clear at flex with a thinner spacer?

I wouldn’t go less than 1.5. If you watch videos Kevin is running 1.5 spacers he got on eBay. Better to be safe than sorry. Also the spacers give a nice stance as well.

If you don’t need them I wouldn’t use them. Not for any other reason than actually doing it. I like to keep the tires under the flares and if I can keep from using them, it’s best to do so. Some people like the wide look, but in some cases you end up getting more rubbing because they aren’t tucked inside the wheel well. Really just personal preference.

The Generals look sweet! I had them on my JK. Nice job!

I feel exactly the same way. I do like the wide look, however it doesn't outweigh keeping things under the fender. I've always had a thing for Generals, and this just gave me an excuse to get them, and surprisingly not too terrible on the road.

What bumper are you running? Got another front pic you can share of that?

Thanks!

Who did you guys get to mount them? Discount Tire did my 35's but when I asked about 37's they said I'd have to get a min 8" wide rim. I don't get it since, like said above, they are both 12.5" wide tires.

Pep Boys did mine with no questions asked. Somehow they also took about 5 1/2 hours to do it, but they also had a decent price on what I wanted and military discount.

Nice. I'll check them out. I'm retired mil, hopefully that counts.

I'm sure it will, they took my VA id with no issues.
