Default Anyone w/ 37s & 4.5BS in LA Willing to Let Me Check Fitment?

Looking at going up to 37s but finding no definitive answer if they will fit with my setup (without needing wheel spacers) and would to know if anyone in the Los Angeles wouldn't mind me trying on your spare to see how it fits. I'm running 4" coils with 2" coil spacers all around and it looks like I would have the clearance but it's too hard to guess it. Ideally looking for KM2s or any 12.5 wide tire. Let me know, thanks!

Whats your fender situation and how much bump stop do you run with that setup? At 4.5" you will need to heavily adjust steering stops to keep the tires off the control arms. You may also rub the front bumper if its stock.

Six inches is plenty of lift for 37s, but you'll need around 4" of bump stop extension if you're running stock flares.

4.5" lift with 37s and 4.5" backspacing. Worked perfect and never rubbed

When I ran 4.5" backspacing, I couldnt keep my tires off the control arms and the frame.
