7" and 37's?

i know i know, when you read this topic you probably came in prepared to flame and lecture me for running 37's on IFS but first let me explain myself... my toyota is no longer my only vehicle, nor will it ever see a trail again... the time/money ive spent on my recent V8 swap has drained me for over a year now... in the mean time i picked up a new trail rig, and a new DD... the toyota will only see pavement from now on, and with gas prices it will probably only see it once a week if that... right now im running a 3" body lift, i plan on going with a 4" Skyjacker Stage II along with my body lift, can i clear 37x12.50R15 Goodyear MT/R's on 15x10's with 3.5" of backspacing? as i said it will only see pavement, as long as i can get full lock (or very close) ill be happy... i dont necessarily care for the look of Bushwhacker cut outs, but if need be i wouldnt mind running them...

but back to the question... 7" and 37's on a pavement only rig... will it work, and does anyone have any pics of this setup... i searched before i posted this and most of these turned out to just be flame wars with not a very good direct answer...

I think you'll be okay. But, its hard to say for sure. Good luck thought, i must admit that the 37x12.50 mtr is my favorite tire of all time, it just looks bad ass.

I've ran 37x14 Iroks on 15x10's a couple of times now.....the scrubbing isn't too bad, the gearing was shocking (stock 4.3's), bit it looked awesome!!!

Heres it is with about 7" lift and the 37s on (BJ Spacers, Cruiser Coils, and 3" Bodylift)






Then I put them on again recently for a beach trip....only had 2" bodylift this time but was still very drivable.
