Default 37 with 4'' lift!?

Maybe it's just me but after looking at the pics of the Evolution JK with 37 Krawler and 4'' lift, it doesn't seems to have much room for flex. Look at how close the tires are from the wheel fender. I'm not sure that I can put my hand between the rear tire and the fender! Same thing with front, how can you think of turning full lock with this little space. Imagine with the suspension compressed. Maybe with bump stop that doesn't allow compression and only to use drop as suspension travel. Can't wait to see it on a ramp but in my mind, 6'' long arm will be the way for tire bigger than 35''. I'm probably just too excited about putting 37 on mine, maybe 35 will have to be the right choice!
