I assume that the BFG tires are currently mounted to the MotoMetal wheels... what size are the BFG tires?

I would determine the amount of clearance you currently have with the 35/12.50R17 tires. If you have more than 1/2" clearance from the front leave springs at full turn, then you should be fine with the 37/13.50R17 tires. Why? Because the new tires are only 1/2" wider on each side of the wheel as your current tires. Does this make sense?
