You will need to do a slight trim of the inner guard, so when you turn the wheels it dont scrape.
The GU`s have a big wheel arch and the 37`s seem to fit nice and not look out of place.

If you are fitting Drop Boxes you wont need radias arm spacers, the drop boxes move the diff forward.
In the below pic i have 36s fitted and there is plenty of room between the back of the tyre and the front guard.

Boggers are a fair bit wider than the Simex though and scrub radius is going to be the problem with them i think...

WRT looking small - it must be a new lift or somehting because I have 35" simex on 4" lift and they look bigger/better fit in the guards :?:

Thats flexing a bit too... i think 36x12's would be just perfect fit :armsup:

Lets get some more GU's on 37's up here to see what they look like and how they go offroad - ie rubbing, guard cutting etc.... I love some of the utes on 38's but that is far to much stuffing around to get them in under a wagon...

Did you get a pic showing the lack of clearence? Would like to look at 37s on the ute soon, and my wheel doesn't look quite as far forwards as GUEEY's, even with drop boxes.

Not all tyres measure what they claim. My tyres { Michelin } measure 36.5'' and didnt rub at all, with 2" lift, while flexn and general offroad but when getting air and landing on the front bumpstops they would rub badly on the top of the inner arches. The only cure was to extend my front bumpstops or do a bodylift, I chose the later.
