Default Is anyone running a BFG AT 37x12.50x17?

I know the topic has been discussed on 37's throughout the site but I have not seen one person state they have these.

Tire measures 36.3" and I would imagine anyone running the new F150lifts.com at 3" could fit these but then again not a lot of people run 17's. I am running a 35x12.50x17 with a 17x9 and -5 offset wheel and had to grind the inner fenders but clear now.

If I were to go back to a Raptor wheel (+34 offset) I think I could fit these. Can I get your thoughts on this?

That's a big heavy tire, kind of a strange size. I like the 37s with a 6" lift, but it seems that it is rarely done. People always want the 35s, maybe there is a reason, I dunno. I like the larger tires, too.

Tire weight is only 67 lbs. My falken in 35's weigh 74 lbs.

I'm running 17s with the F150lifts.com coilovers but I'm not sure those 37s would fit.

What are you running? Speaking to Alex yesterday, if I'm in a 2wd I would get more lift than a 4x4 due the truck being a lighter weight. I am clearing 35's so another .65" around couldn't be that much.

The tires I have now are wider and heavier, the width was wear my problem lied in the beginning.

Right now I just have 285/70r17 Cooper STTs with +6 offset wheels. Plenty of room for 35s.
