Default Will these 37" tires fit on my 10" lifted 2WD 1500

I have a 2006 Dodge 1500 2WD its got a 7" CST suspension lift and also a 3" performance accessories body lift. I currently am able to clear my 35x12.5R20 toyo open country m/t's, but I am planning on purchasing 37" tires within the week. Will I run into any problems with rubbing cause the new tires will be 37x13.5R20 and I currently have 20" KMC rockstars that are 20x8.5 in specs and have about 5" backspacing.
If anyone could help me out I would gladly appreciate it

Not sure because I am not an expert on tires or rims, but your rim might not be wide enough for your tire. But someone on here will know for sure.

You will be able to clear 37s for sure. Might wanna upgrade your gears. Problem is your rim width and tire width. When I bought my rockstars they said 33x12.50 was the widest I should go. 13.50s is too wide and isnt safe

As said, 37s will clear with 10" of lift. No worries there.

height wise, yes you can clear the tires.

But idk about the wheel and tire width. I am not experienced with all of that enough to tell you yes or no...

Sorry.

No way you can fit a 13.5 on an 8.5" rim
