You will be able to run 37 inch tires but I would recommend going to a 16 x 10 inch wheel instead of 16 x 8.

37" will fit pretty easy depending on how wide you go with a 8" wide rime i would not go any wider than 12.5, this looks pretty skinny with a 37" tire i recomend a 10" wide rim and a 14.5 tire in 37" you might have to do alittle trimming to the front valance the absolut largest you can go with a 3" body and a 6" fabtech is a 38" 15.5" on a 10" rim with 4.5" of backspacing but this requires the front torsion bars to be cranked and triming of the lower controll arm, front valance and the rear of the front wheel wells at the bottom, and it wont rub at all even offroading, good luck and i have pics to further clearafy if needed
