Default tire/wheel fitting question

I know the subject on wheels has been brought up a thousand times but I cant seem to find anybody running tires as wide as mine. Im going to be running Mickey Thompson Baha Claw Radials in the 37x13.50 on a 15 in rim. I think I could get away with running a 9 in wide rim, only i want soft 8's and I know that the crager soft 8's will work the the calipers only i cant find one in a 9. I've found 8's and 10's though. Yall think the 10's would clear the calipers?? What about my front bumper? are 13.50's too wide? Ive pretty much accepted the fact that a sawzall will be used to get these bad boys to fit.
