Default Tire and wheel question

Can i put a 13.50" wide tire on my stock moabs with 1.5"spacers? I have a 35x 12.5x 17 on now (with the 1.5" spacers) and I want to go wider
Any feedback would be appreciated

My recommendation on the stock rim would be to go NO wider than a 12.50.

That' s abit wide for the stock rims, but you can run em. I'd adjust my air pressure though for a flatter trac. Why not get some cheap soft 8's 17X9?

Also, if your looking for a wider stance, the 17x9 is gonna look a helluvva lot better.

it's not that I neccessarily want a wider stance. I'm just able to get a killer deal on these bigger tires (37x13.5x17) and I was hoping they would fit... I like the wheels I have
