37" Tires on Hummer wheels

Has anyone put 37" (37 X 12.50 R 17) tires on hummer wheels, I have 35"s (315x70x17) now with a 2" leveling kit, I have searched but cant find any info

Thanks

I have 37" Goodyear tires, but not on hummer wheels. Are you trying to see if they will fit with a level kit?

I get rubbing with my 4.5" skyjacker lift.

That's what I looking for, my stock sport rims made BFG Muds(16 inch) rub on the trailing arms at full turn, the Hummer wheels(17 inch) are.75 less back set, it looks like 37" would fit, but just trying to see if some one else has tried this combo, my plan is to have a winter set and a summer set, I allready have two sets of hummer wheels

Thanks

I ran 36's on just a leveling kit with some American Racing wheels, and they rubbed like crazy. You'll probably have to step up to an actual lift to run 37's. Or run some wheels with some CRAZY backspacing.
Later,
Tommy

I have 37/13.5/17 on em. Rub at fender liner with 1/2" longer arms and steering stops. Livable but it does contact sometimes.
