    Working on stepping up to 37x13.5 on some 17s. The bead locks I want are offered in 2 sizes,
    16x8, 4.25" bs or 16x10 4" bs. I just can't figure it out without the stuff in front of me especially with all the tire bulge to add to this mess. I'll be doing lots of tubing and cutting but I'm trying to avoid any cutting to the frame. Still on IFS so the control arms are still a factor.

    You want 37x13.50R17 but is asking about 16" rim o_O

    13.50 wide tire would recommend 10" rim wide

    Typically 12.50 are radial and 13.50 are bias until you get into the 40s.

    There is almost no options for 37s and 16s, find different wheels or be VERY limited in tire selection if you can even find any at all.

    Couldn't find any 37s with a 16" rim size. Stepping up to 17" for some better selection. Going for bead locks but I still need to find the right BS.

    But you are asking about 16X8 and 16X10 rims??? It's a bit confusing.

    Go with the most backspacing you can. 13.5 wide is insane for these trucks. My 35x10.5s rub frame on 17" 3rd gen wheels with 1.5" spacers

    My bad I miss typed 16" when I'm really looking at 17" wheels.
