Willys diesel 37 fitment

[Scottz]

I had my 23 Willy's D lifted with a Clayton 2.5 RR earlier this year and netted about 3.5" with it. I was thinking about getting new wider wheels and some 37x12.5 tires. Will they fit and articulate ok with factory fenders or should I plan on adding the KBD fenders?

My 37s fit with the stock lift.

Off pavement though?

Yeah, the bump stops hit the axle before the tires hit the fender. If you're going to cut out the bump stops and go adjustable hydraulic for extra articulation, then you can worry about fender clearance.

Factory wheels or aftermarket? Wondering what backspacing I need, don't want much poke

Which 37s, the smallish for size BFGs?

My 35x12.50s MTs get really close to rubbing on my diesel Rubicon on OE suspension. 8.5 wide wheels with +6mm offset.

Actually I'm thinking of the Nitto 37x11.5r17s.

I have the 315's in those specs with 37's. Very little poke.

Thanks everyone. I've decided to go with 35s. Mickey Baja Boss ATs on Ion 71 series 17x9 4.5 backspace. Wife is just 4'11" and already not happy with height.
