Wheel Opinion - 07 GMC 1500 (new body style)
If I wanted to go with 37's, I'd have to say I'd follow this guys path:
its on point

He added body lift later on to give a little more clearance for the 37's as well.

congrats your gonna destroy you vehicles off road ability. given you ever off road have fun constantly replacing your busted rims
OMI big offroad rims are the worst thing to ever happen to trucks. 1 chrome is ghetto ass ugly 2 most of the mag designs look like crap....would expect to see the same thing on a sebring on 17s

your more likely to pop the bead and a whole hell of alot more likely on cracking your rim on say a rock under the mud or on a sudden decent off a sharpe ledge. the larger wheel ends up having a more low pro tire, without that extra tire there isnt much keeping the obsticles from bashing into your rim. ive seen it
think about it, 35" tire on a 15 or 35" on a 17+. more tire more protection and less likely that rim will connect with said rock. also a smaller rim with big ties also alows you to go sayyyy....33x12.50 on a 10" wide rim, that balloning effect of the tire exceeding the width of the rim also prevents curbage and your wheel from being scraped up on rocks due to the protruding side wall.
most offroad wheels have a thicker side wall just for these kinda things.
i used to run trxxus m/t they have a remarkable side wall strength
EDIT: if your gona run a larger rim ide suggest getting a good set of allterrains apposed to mud tires for better street use and try to keep your truck on either the road or the sandy beaches.
and im not sure but i dont think sand fairs well with chrome in the long run. try polished steel if you have to be "shinin"
image below! this kind of thing is WAAAAAY more likely to happen with bigger rims due to the lack of tire around them, you might still have 37"s but you have half the tire a smaller off road wheel can provide....i dont see a point in anything over a 16" on most vehicles not even cars
