its going to be a little harder to find the wider wheel in that size most people dont go with wider than a 10" because of the extra stress it adds to the front end......but check out any of the petersons or offroad magazines to give you an idea and some manufacturers

What does the width of the wheel have to do with the height of the tire? Just find a 37 or 38 that is made for your width wheel. There are all kinds of 37 and 38x12.50 or 13.50 tires out there. What type of tire are you looking for?
