thanks fish. i had already read the sticky. it was a range of numbers i was just seeing if there was a specific recommended number for that lift in particular. they are gonna be km2's if that makes a difference. 37x13.5x17

If you aren't hobbled by fender coverage laws, I would go with less backspacing. 4.0" or 3.5".
But a lot depends on the 'actual' height and width. 37's that turn out to be 35" x 12" will have different backspacing needs than 37's that are 37" x 14" when sitting under your jeep.
