Will 37-inch tires fit a Jeep JK with a 5-inch lift?
Fitment answer · Updated October 27, 2026
Short answer
Yes, this is a common 37 setup. A 5-inch JK lift gives good room for 37s, especially with high-clearance fenders. Plan on a regear, steering upgrades and correct driveshaft angles.
Shop the gear for this build ↓ Tires, deflators and a compressor picked for this setup.
What you usually need
- A quality 5-inch long-arm or short-arm kit with adjustable control arms.
- High-clearance fenders help with full flex.
- A heavy-duty tie rod and drag link, and a rear driveshaft that handles the angle.
Regearing
37s on a JK usually call for 4.88 or 5.13 gears. Compare ratios in the Tire & Gear Calculator before you buy gears.
