Stock 18'', 37'' tires, leveling kit + body lift. Will it fit?

I'm almost sure i'll buy a 6'' suspension lift this summer and running 37'' tires.

One of my 35'' crack on me 2 or 3 weeks ago and i'm stuck with my stock wheel/tires for now. I want to buy new tires, but can't buy the suspension lift right now...

So either i buy 35'' again and stick with it and no suspension lift or i try to fit 37'' on the stocker for now or i keep the stocker till summer.


What do you guys think, will it fit?

Thanks

Edit : I'll would go with 37x12.5R18 or 37x13.5R18

there's a guy who had 37x12.50-17's with only a leveling kit and he said it fit, so you can take that with a grain of salt.

I would definitely not recommend a 37" tire on stock 18's (only 7.5" wide) if the tires are 13.5" wide. Not only would it look ridiculous, but would be unsafe.

X2! Check out that thread ATOM posted too! That's pretty awsome... I think it would look pretty good... I mean, it may not be EXACTLY the look you're going for, but for practicality, it should be good

I just look at that thread and wow those fender well are full hahaha.

If it does fit with only a leveling kit. It should fit fine with a leveling kit + body lift.

Hummm now now, what should i do haha.

i would ride those stockers till you had enough $$$ saved up.

37/12.5 would fit , but i think they will look small once you go with the 6+3 , just my .02

Why would they look small?

Ain't that what everyone are running with 8/10'' of lift?

generally, people w/ 8-10'' of lift are running at least a 13.50 wide tire. some people feel that 36's+ look funny only 12.50 inches wide on 8-10'' of lift.

Well i was looking at the BFGoodrich Mud Terrain KM2 and it only come in 37x12.5R18.

I don't want a tire weighting 100 pound or more, like those Toyo MT.

BFG MT KM2 37x12.5R18 = 72lbs each
Toyo MT 37x13.5R18 = 93lbs each

Those 21lbs extra at each corner is sure to affect performance and mpg.

well, i personally am not a fan of wide *** tires that you can't even turn w/ either... i was just trying to give you an honest answer to your question, no blows intended. 37x12.50's in a BFG MT will look good.
