Will 37-inch tires fit a Jeep Wrangler 4xe with a 2.5-inch lift?
Fitment answer · Updated October 27, 2026
Short answer
Usually yes, with fender and bump-stop work. 37s on a 4xe at 2.5 inches need high-clearance fenders or trimming and extended bump stops because of the 4xe's weight.
Shop the gear for this build ↓ Tires, deflators and a compressor picked for this setup.
