Can I fit 37x13.50R17LT tires on a 17x9.5 wheel?

[Ashr]

Hello all. I'd like to purchase Nitto 37x13.50R17LT Tire Ridge Grappler (217450) Will my 17x9.5 wheel be an issue?

I have BLACK RHINO ABRAMS 17x9.5 (1795ABR-85127G71)

Or should I go for Nitto 37x12.50R17LT Tire Ridge Grappler (217050)

Yes I believe so. Look on the manufacturers web side they will tell you minimum and max width.

Approved rim width range for Nitto 37x13.50 is 9.0-(11.0)-11.5 just wanted to check others' experiences and if 37x12.50 is better for 17x9.5 wheel.

You will have no problem fitting those tires on 9.5" rim.

As mentioned, the 37x13.50R-17 is a good fit for a 9.5-inch wide wheel.

A couple of points to consider with the tire to rim width range is that a tire that's mounted on the narrower end may give up some handling but will tend to deliver a cushier ride because the sidewall has a little more flex. Whereas a tire that's mounted on the wider rim width end tends to handle and respond better to steering input, but may give up some ride quality due to less sidewall flex. The measuring rim width as stated by the manufacturer tends to deliver the ideal blend of both comfort and handling.
