Default 37's????

Hey guys, Im currently running bfg at 315/70-17 and its about time to get new tires due to tread running low. My question is would I be able to fit 37 inch nitto terra grapplers 37x12.50-17? I have a 3 inch body lift already on the truck. Would I have clearance/rubbing issues? I dont rub with the 35's that are already on it. Would I have to lift the truck more to fit 37's in there? Thanks for the input...

Also plan on putting wheel spacers on the truck at around the same time I put new tires on it.

I run a 5" suspension lift and I wouldn't try to put 37's on. By the time you put in the spacers (need I go into this again?) your tire will be pushed way to far out and you might as well take off the bumper.

I personally wouldnt do it but it can be done by cranking the **** out of the tbars. Your front end will hate you though.
