Default 37s on a 15 in wheel possible?

Alright, so im bored and just wondering if it is a possibility. I got a 2.5 lift and will soon have flat fenders and trim pinch seam and also have a rear tire carrier/bumper. I have an 08 auto w/3.73 gears, dana 30 and a superchips flashpaq. I know that I will hate myself on the highway until a regear and a sleeve and gusset job would be necessary, and that routine maintenance will come faster and mileage would be 12-15 mpg.

Im trying to figure out if there are any 37s for a 15x8 wheel that would be good for a daily driver? I have Christmas, my birthday, and a tax refund all within a 2-3 month period that can help me out. been poking around the web and didn't find much. I am trying to avoid a new size/ set of wheels . Anything out there that can work?

Pitbull makes a 37" for 15" wheel. I'm running their 35's and I drive 600 miles to work. You will probably need a body lift to go with the 2.5" suspension lift to clear properly.

Thanks man will look into it. No balancing issues with a 15x8 wheel?

I'm using 13 oz of balancing beads in each tire. Could use a little more. On good roads I can drive 70 just fine. On rough interstates in Louisiana I have a very small amount of shimmy but not bad. Another oz or two of beads would fix that I believe.
