Default 37's on a 98 ram?

Hey guys,
New to this forum, but i'm glad to be a member!

I did some searching, and got some of my questions answered but I still have a couple.

98 Ram 1500 4x4. 3" body lift, 2" coil spacers and rear blocks. Will 37's fit? Or is 35's as big as I can go? Im not worried if I have to do some trimming to the fenders/bumper/inner fenders.
I haven't bought rims yet, just figuring out which ones and how big I should get them. I was looking a 17x9 with a 4 1/2" backing.

Thanks for the help in advance guys.

Adam

just gotta see how wide you get them so you can turn the front wheels without hitting the frame

37's could probably fit, but I'd go with 35 or 36's.

the tires would be 37x12.50x17
And they would be bf goodrich mud terrains. So i only have 35x12.50 or 37x12.50 as an option

My guess would be some minor trimming. I had a '98 1500 RCSB 5.9 4x4 with a 3" body lift and 35s and had to trim a good bit of plastic, even with aftermarket wheels with a good bit of backspacing...
