Default 37's - 5.5" lift - flat fenders

Just did about 2 hours worth of searching. I need some opinions and pics please:

I have a 5 1/2" lift on my Unlimited and want to go 37's (from 35's) . I have a chance to pick up a new set of Bushwacker flat flares and wanted to know how it will look with the 37's. Opinions and or pictures would really help me out, thanks.

With flat fenders the tires will loom small I have 37s with a 2.5" lift and cut factory flares. You will get even more clearance with aftermarket flat flares.

I have a 5" Fabtech lift, Xenon flat fenders and 37" Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's and I wouldn't stop at 37's personally with that much lift and flat fenders. So much empty space maybe some 39's or 40's or leave factory flare's or swap in some shorter coils. Personal opinion.
I'll upload some pic's when I get home.

I would say either bigger than 37's if u have a rubi if not don't put that big on a d30. I wouldn't go with flat flares with that much lift cause ur tires will look tiny. I have a 4.25 lift with cut factory flares and 35's and mine look small. I had a guy ask me the other day if I was running 32's lol
