Looking at the specs of these tires, I’m thinking these may fit stock wheels with minimal rubbing. Especially since they are an inch narrower than the more common 35x12.5 or 37x12.5. Does anyone have experience with these or can help me with pictures?
 
They should be a little better in mud and snow but not as good in sand. Might get you a bit more mpg also. For my driving a narrower tire is better.
 
Can't help you with the rubbing as I'm driving the 35x12.5, but performance-wise they are really good. Can't complain about anything (but I haven't driven them in snow/ice, so can't say anything about that).
 
There is at least one member with the 37x11.5’s on the See your 35/37 thread. He was nice enough to send me additional photos when I was trying to decide.
 
I have them on my 2017 Wagon. They rubbed on the driver's control are and passengers swaybar with stock setup on full left lock.

I recently added BORA 2" spacers, and now they rub on the plastic/pinch weld on both sides.
 
I have the recon 37/11.5 and the driver control arm full lock is my only rub. I’m going to check out the rest in the next 3 weeks.
 
I wonder if they would rub at all with wheels with a +19-25 off set like the AEV wheels and other recommend.
 
Near as I can understand, 2" spacers on stock wheels is the same as +25 offset wheels. That's why I went with 2" spacers.
 
Not sure if this will help you much but I'll toss in my 'gem' lol. I run Cooper STT pro's in 325/65R18 (34.6 x 13.4") NIce and wide. I'm on 18x9" Icon rims with -12 offset. I don't rub at all. and I've thought about the 37's or even 40's (I know on 40's I'd have to trim) on 37's several others I've run into have had to do by their description 'minor trimming' of the pinch weld area with my offset. I have yet to install a 37 to see how it fits or doesn't fit as the case may be.

Hope this helps in some way

Most Power Wagons come with 17x8" wheels with 45mm positive offset. Your 2" spacers are (25.4x2") 50.8mm, let's round that to 51mm. So 45mm minus 51 = 6mm of negative offset. In order to be at the AEV 27mm positive offset, you would need to subtract 27mm from your 45mm, which equals 18mm, which equals 0.71 inches... If you have oem 20" wheels, most of them are 54mm positive offset, so subtract 27mm to arrive at 27mm positive which is 1.06".... Most 18" oem Ram wheels are 57mm... you get the picture...
