I get messages every week asking me questions like will it fit. I have 0 issues helping but I usually just send them to a certain post on my build.
My builds are at the bottom of my post.
Hoping this will save people the time of reading my build but I can still help them.
First off let's talk 37s, You have 11in, 12.5, 13.5 wide and not all 37s are really 37s. The KM3s that I used are really 36 1/4in @36psi and 36 1/2in at 50psi. Rim width will change width of tire also.
But some 37in tires are true 37s that will make a difference being I was as close as you can get to rubbing.
Now what did I do 37x12.5r17s KM3 (36 1/4in tire) on 17x8.5 +30 offset and 1/4in spacer.
This will be your tool for comparing (This will also tell you your poke difference if you put my numbers in then you can compare it will give you mm just convert to inches)

Free up room with.
Zip-ties you will use them in the front and rear in different spots. (For more on that with pics you just have to read my build)
At about 7:25 in the video he goes over a part you can take off the bronco and free up some room.
Now I have the Badlands with Sasquatch So when it comes to lift use this to compare. (Thanks North7)
Now I was maxed out with my 37in KM3s (36 1/4in tire) and full 37 will rub. Maybe a true 37x11r17 may work width is the problem with 37x12.5r17
One thing I will point out for the extreme guy that is jumping his Bronco I did rub jumping but very little. (Just in the front) Full 37s You will need a leveling kit for sure. ((I have now went jumping with my 1 3/8 front leveling kit and 1in rear leveling and no spacers had 0 rub, Same 37s )))
True 37s (If you are a very little off road or don't mind rubbing at full lock above will be just fine)
Lets talk True 37in tires
You will need the JKS max tire kit to have 0 rubbing. (This will just free up a ton of room My 30+ offset works I can't promise but my guess would be you will be good all the way to 0 offset)
Lets talk 38s
You will need a minimum of 1 3/8s lift front and 1in rear.
With my 30+ offset no rub till off-roading then needed 1in spacers.
You will need to grind a little off the rear crash bar or just cut off.
No rub with the lift with the 37s jumping. Like above before.
OK, so 38s I knew they fit BUT the question was the spare. ADD bumper came with a 3rd brake light bracket. At first I needed a 1in spacer due to that 3rd light bracket hitting the tire. I cut part of it off and then didn't need a spacer its like a perfect fit. See pics
All The time I had may post more later
