Default 37s and no lift

Will 37s fit with stock flares? Im getting wheels and tires first and the lift will be in about a month or so.

Could I run the 37s just on the street until I get the lift?

Anyone have pics of 37s and no lift with stock flares?

Only if you can fit a round peg in a square hole. Sorry you will just have to wait.

just kidding, well, kind of. Keep in mind the Jeep is going to be 2 1/2" taller than it is in that picture. You're putting a tire on that has a 2 1/2" larger radius, so the hub of the axle is going to be 2 1/2" higher. along with everything else. Of course, a 37" tire still wont clear the stock front bumper.

No way. I have 35s on with a 2.5" lift and they rub the air dam trim at full wheel lock. The tire is <0.75" from hitting the front bumber. I would expect a 4" lift is needed with 37s. There are some tables for lift and tire size on quadratec's website.

With flat flares and a stubby front bumper and trimming the rear pinch seam, they will fit for temporary, highway use.
