Default 37 12.5 17's fit or no fit?

has anyone put 37. 12.5 17's on a 2006 ram 2500 i know they will fit on a none lifted power wagon...
my ctd has a hell bent leveling kit and i cant deside on 35's or 37's also cant decide on mudd terrains or all terrians i will eventually get a 4.5 inch fabtech lift but i cant drop the cash on lift and tires at the same time. so i think itll be easyer to get tires first

35's may rub alittle (very little) on a leveled 2500. I beleive stock is 31-32 if i'm not mistaken. 37s without the lift will rub quite a bit and with the lift will be about as much rubbing as the 35s with the level

37's might be a bit much even with a level Kit. You sure you want to go that big? Just asking cause your power will suffer a bit as well as MPG.

well im gonna have a 4.5 inch lift
1 them lift and tire combo to look right
2 i wanna be able to make it up some crazy hills with the stocky michies once it gets at all wet out i cant climb anything
3 protetion for my diffs the higher the diff is off the ground the harder it is to catch it on something.
As for power this truck has tons of power even stock... future plans include edge juice w/attitude. injectors and a few other bolt ons... im not looking for a drag truck, or something god awful fast i have 3 muscle cars that take care of that side of me.. as for MPG put 35s or 37s on a gasser with a 4.5 inch lift whats your MPG gonna be 8-9?
ive been leaning toward 35's but thinking about 37's i guess im looking to others who have done what id like to do for help in making my desicion..

I have 35"s and Iam getting 15.1 with the Brew...(check out Drews Brew), well worth the money. Iam also getting the 15.1 while in extreme mode on the Edge, in drive mode Iam getting about 15.3.
