Default Backspacing
I'm planning on installing a 3.5 inch lift with 37x13.5 tires and i plan on using a 17 wheel with 4.75 back spacing. My question is should i think about getting some spacers?

Yes, you will rub.

Are you set on those rims? Not too late to change

I run 37x12.5 tires with 4.5" backspacing & rub at full lock but not enough for me to run spacers or change rims.

With 37's you're looking at rims with approximately 3.5" backspacing to avoid rubbing.
