My tire guy's tellin me that the 37x12.5" MT/R+K isn't a good match with the stock 17" Rubicon wheel width-wise. I told him that guys are running them with 30-32 psi in them and being fine. Also allows to hold the bead a little better when aired down. Am I wrong? i really wanna use the stock wheels and just space them out.

If you know that you need wheel spacers for them then they are ok, everyone is gonna have there own opinion on wheel spacers, get the hub centric ones the spidertrax ones and you will be ok as long as you check the tightness of them every tire rotation (3k)
My personal opinion is they are fine but I'm going down to 15s with 3.75 back spacing because it's cheaper to buy new rims and tires for a 15 inch rim then to get tires and wheel spacers for the stock 17s.

I was also going to go with a cheap pair of 15x10" steelies when I do the swap but they don't make the MT/R+K in 37x12.50R15 anymore, and that's the tire I'd like to run—everything else is too heavy or doesn't have the characterics I'm looking for.
