Trying to get concrete experiences: Wheel Backspacing, 4" lifts, 37" tires

[SteveH]

All,
I've searched the board for the past couple of days (the 'net as well), and as usual I've come up with a multitude of contradictions.
Im looking at either the Rubicon Express 4" or the Procomp 4" (All spring) lifts. While I fully understand that 35" tires will fit - I've seen some people supposedly fitting 37" tires w/o 'rubbing'. Yet others saying that it cannot be done....So my questions are:

For those who have done it:
-What did you have to trim (If anything)
-What is your specific wheel/tire setup. Rim Size/Width, Tire Size, and Backspacing

For those who say it cannot be done:
-Have you tried yourself ?
-If so, where was it rubbing ? This is most important, as rubbing on the springs maybe cured with the proper backspacing....

Thanks,
Steve

I guess I'll weigh in here. I've got a 6.5 Pro Comp lift on my truck. 35x12.50R20's on 20x10's with a -25 offset. When I turn, my tires miss the lower front valence by about 1/2". 37's would definitely rub on my truck if I didn't trim anything I do not rub the springs with my setup...

a 4" lift with a 9" wide wheel and 4.5" backspacing with a 37x12.50 tire should not rub. I did the setup on my buddies truck and did not have to trim anything, and it does not rub the leaf springs.

37x13.50s on 16x9 4.5 bs hit the leaf springs. its annoying but I'm pretty much used to it.

Thanks guys. The wheels I was looking at were actually 4.75" back-spacing; so that should give me a little more room...

How about some pics ?
