    M1008 w/37" Humvee tires: highway cruising speed?

    Guys new to the site. I have an 84 cucv want to put 37" humvee rims and tires. Tried today and found out the front tire did not fit as it appeared the offset was too deep and hit the suspension. My question is do you do to have them fit? Thank you!
