Does anyone know if 37x12.5x17 KM3 would fit on the Mopar beadlock wheels (run as a true beadlock)? I have seen some other posts that suggest the KM3 lip may be too thick for the beadlock ring. Found a used set but trying to figure out if the KM3 would work.

Here were the other posts i found some information from:

I was looking at the mopar bead locks the other day and thought they look an awful lot like the AEV ones. I couldn’t find anything to confirm these as another case of mopar rebranding AEV components but found posts with others thinking the same as me. If they are, AEV does list your target tire / size as compatible. Try giving AEV a call and asking.

They are very similar. Looks like the AEV would fit the km3 37

It’s defiantly out of spec for that tire to go on an 8” wide wheel, but plenty of people do it. You would need spacers to keep from hitting frame and sway bar. it's what I'm having done next week but with the BFG 37' KO2's...

The thought was to mount it as a beadlock so that the width is 8.5. I didn’t know if the km3 would fit in the beadlock without a spacer which mopar doesn’t make. I decided to order the nemesis vision wheels and 37 Km3 instead as I could not find a good answer.

This might help. It is for a different beadlock, but you can see they have 2 different categories by tire bead width. So if someone can confirm MOPAR works with BFG A/T KO2's, Good Year Wrangler M/T's, Pitbull Growlers, or Pro-Comp XTerrains. It's not guaranteed, but the next best thing I can come up with using actual objective info.
