With the options you listed it seems to be more about width. I believe the Fuel's are 4.5 back spacing and the Method Bead-locks are 3.5 both wheels with the same tire you will be 2" wider with the Bead-locks. (yes I know stating the obvious)
My opinion: I would go no wider then a 13.5 tire and maybe reconsider your choice of that bead-lock. Method makes a great wheel but for any sort of rock crawling the ring is too small in my opinion and you will shave off the corners of your bolts making the maintenance part of it a pain as a socket will no longer fit over the bolt. In addition that ring does not provide much valve stem protection.
Maintenance on bead-locks is really nothing to worry about.
Yeah defiantly would go no wider than 13.5. And now that you brought that up about the Methods and after some more reseach I found that Methods are not really in my best interest. So after some thought I may just get some Slabs or Chamber IIs in 17" and just mount them on my 35s now and upgrade to 37s later on after I do some upgrades to my front 44
