You're probably going to be ignored because your question has been asked a billion times already........
But, I'm an old retired fart that will tell you there's plenty of folks that put a 37X12.5-17 on a stock Rubi wheel (7.5 wide). Tire manufactures will advise against it and recommend a larger width rim. I have not seen a wider tire than that. I had 315s (11.5 wide) on the stock rim, but switched over to a Mopar 8.5 wide rim when I put on my 37s. Most tire shops won't put on "bigger/beefier" tire other than is recommended for the stock rim. On your stock JLU Sahara, you should be able to fit 33s with no lift. Maybe just pick up some take offs from Rubi. Just my $.02.
