One thing to consider though, the bigger the rim, the more expensive the tire. I'll use my BFG MTs as an example:
37x12.5x20 = $600 ea
37x12.5x17 = $404 ea

So a smaller rim will save you money every time you buy tires...

I like the rim, but I might not have a choice.

BFG doesn't make a 37" in A/T period.

Nitto does, but to get down to a 12.50 I'd have to downsize rims.

Some things to think about.
