Default 37x16 tires?

Does anyone have or know if companies make 37's that will fit on a 16inch rim? I did a search on here and didnt find anything. I saw putbull makes a 37x13.5x16 but couldnt find them for sale anywhere.

I was also told that BFG KM2's can be had in a 37. I am in the same boat. Looking for a new set and am thinking about going to 37's but don't really want to buy new rims.

Yeah I saw that but thought since I'm running basically a 12.5" width now with the Toyo's that might not be a huge deal in sidewall given the increased height of the tire as well as increased width. I could be way off in my thinking - bout like folks running 12.5 tires on the factory Jeep wheels....my AEV's are just a tad bit wider than the factory Jeep wheels.

I do appreciate your chiming in all the same.

I would like to go KM2's but my wheels are 16x8 so I guess they are out of the question? I have 315/75/16 nitto mg's now....they are 12.87 inches wide.

Most manufacturers recommend a 10" rim for even the 12.50's. I have 16x8 rims with 4" backspacing and unless a place won't even mount them that is probably what i will go with.
