Default prorock 44, 37x13.5 on 4.5 backspace?

Is the prorock 44 longer than a stock d30?
I am shopping new tires and wheels.
Currently running 37x12.5 on 4" back space... plenty of room Like inches) between tire and frame at full lock.
Wanting to go to 37x13.5 on 4.5" backspace... every where I look I see people needing spacers to clear this set up with stock axle housings.
If I add an inch of tire and pull it closer by .5 backspace on the prorock, will I have issues? Spacers are out.. dont want em.
Someone has to have a prorock with 37x13.5 and 4.5 backspace.... did you need spacers etc?

The standard prorock off the shelf is the same width. However, you can order it wider. The problem in your case is you'll have a wider front than rear. I guess that's fine, but it would bother me.

I ran 13.50's with 3.5in backspace 3in lift. Rubbed front frame at full turn, slightly front lower control arm rub and slightly inn fender well in rear.. Unless your running 6in plus lift your going to rub all over the place with 4.5in backspace especially if your talking about running mud grapplers

No really true. I ran 37x13.5 toyo's on 4.5" backspacing with a 1.5" spacer. Adjusted steering stops. 3.5" lift, 2.75" front bump and had no issues with rubbing. Running 37x13.5 coopers on 3.5" backspacing now with no rubbing either.
