Check out the wheels and tires sub forum and also customoffsets.com. Youll be able to learn a lot.

the RCX front lift spindles require 5-5.5” of backspacing on the wheels and don’t think 37’s will fit without some major trimming.

Im in the same boat myself. Truck came with 37s on 17s but they were too tall. I live in a hilly area plus the stock gearing and i didnt like it. I put on 315 70s till i figure out if im gonna keep the truck or not. If i do ill likely go with 18x10s with a 325 65 which is a tad bigger. Probably do a tuner as well. My truck has a 6" plus 2 or 3" body lift. 37s did look cool though.....Heres an old pic.

Why not just pull one of your wheels off now and check the sizing and offset stamps? That’ll give you a good starting point of where to look.
