Default 37" tires are here!!!
Waiting on my lift to arrive. Traded in my factory rims and tires for the 37" tires. I didn't want to leave it sitting on jack stands with kids crawling all over it. They will fit you just can't turn you can only drive straight!!!

Hellz ya! Age old question solved of whether 37"s fit on a stock Jeep.

Throw flat fenders, take off bumpers, and trim pinch seam and you'll be good to go.

Can't even mall crawl. I guess that makes it a garage crawler. What lift are you installing?

Sorry to hijack, but I see you mentioned pinch seam, I'm putting on a 3" lift on my 4dr and 35s... I don't need to trim that do I?

I had a little over an inch between the pinch seam and tires (3" lift & 35s) I definitely trimmed. It only helps if you trim it.

Easy to do. I used a cutoff tool to start and then a sawza to finish it

This is what it looks like after trimming. A bit more room for wheel travel - especially when the jeep is loaded down with gear.
