Mine fit with very little rubbing on the bumper. Got a Rough Country Tire Riser to fix it. I would consider a third brake light relocation so you can remove the third brake light arm and see out of your rear window.

35” Nitto ridge grapplers fit perfect. Nice and snug

My 35" KO2 BF Goods on Fuel 17 X 9 fit with no problem at all. Adjusted the brake light up a notch but no big deal.

Mine did not. I have Milestar Patigonia M/Ts and had to get a relocation bracket. Fitment is going to be heavily dependent on your wheels rear space/offset.

Huh?

I have the Milestar Patagonia M/T 35's (315/70/17) and they fit perfectly all around on stock Rubicon wheels. No relocation bracket needed for me.

I have Milestars as well and it looks like I could fit 37s I have so much room. I did extend my bump stops. My rims are +12 offset.

I've got 34's (technically 33.8") on stock Rubi rims and I can't imagine anything larger fitting without a relocation bracket. The tire just barely grazes the bumper when I close the hatch.

My 35x12.5 Mickey Thompson Baja ATZs fit just fine. I adjusted the tire carrier up as previously mentioned.

Interesting. I wonder if the steel bumper has a bit more clearance than the plastic one.

I've seen in other threads that airing down the spare can help if you need just a little extra space to avoid rubbing. If you have a blowout and need the spare, even if it's not full that'd probably be the least of your short-term worries.

That's not a bad idea. Especially if you carry a compressor with you.

Something like this:

On my 2018, my 35 rested comfortably on the back bumper. The 18 was replaced with a 19, and I have about 3 or 4mm clearance now. Same spare tire and rim. So it would seem there's some variance from jeep to jeep

I could not make it work with the 35”BFG KM3 mounted on Mopar 17” Gladiator rims and the factory steel rubicon bumper. I went with the Smittybilt spare riser. It has the least amount of setback and has more then enough clearance
Very easy install and looks like it would allow a 37” tire, I don’t know if I would trust the factory carrier for that much weight

This is very confusing.

This is a JL forum, so we should (for the most part) all have the same stuff. I have a 2019 2-door Rubicon with the stock plastic bumpers.

Here are a few pics of my rear tire clearance:

There's plenty of room. It's not rubbing, or really even close. I don't think I could fit a 37" tire in there but this thread is about 35's and mine fit easily..

Any idea why it would fit for some but not others???
