18 or 17 inch Rims with 35s no Lift post your pictures

[RubiRob]

Update to my original post about the 35 Nitto trail grappler not fitting:

The guys at the shop didn’t try hard enough. After following the link someone posted, I was off to buy my solution... the rough country relocation bracket - but I read all comments, one guys comment stated “ordered, and returned, not needed on rubicon if u have steel bumper group!”

So I literally just went to my garage - and lifted this damn tire/rim combo myself and got it on the mount! The 35” is pretty heavy. I was very excited, I called my wife who was already asleep to tell her of my major feat! But it FITS stock, apparently not any rubi- only if u have steel bumper group. I will say it was very tight - a little rub - the tire resting on the bumper. So I Mcgruber’d the shit out of it (great movie btw) and deflated from approx 40psi to 18 psi - then gave her and the bumper some lube (tire wet) - now she opens and shuts smooth, no stick at all. Took a trip around the block - no squeaking or anything. Will report back after my run on i95 tomorrow at 80 mph - if there are any noises or rattles.

Bottom line - glad it fits, and seriously don’t mind that it’s barely resting on bumper - helps take a bit of the load QUOTE]

Noob question, do we need to run spacers for 35s on OEM wheels? I'm getting the 35's itch and would like to run 315/70s on my stock wheels if possible. I was told by a few friends to make sure that they are ok to mount on the stock 7.5" wide wheel, and then to check spacing for rubbing. Is anyone literally just running 35x / 315s on an entirely stock setup? I'd rather just get wheels with tires if it came down to needing spacers . In that case, I have been looking at these few wheels:

ATX AX201

Method MR305

Black rhino arsenal

Any help is much appreciated!

My 35” x 12.5 - R17 fit stock rubicon wheel. No spacers required. All I bought was the rubber! Personally I’m saving my wheels for a couple years down the road. Best of luck man - that first pic u posted - those wheels are BA!

Thanks for the reply! No rubbing when you are at full flex?

No rubbing when cranked - exact same turning radius as with stock 33”s.

There are other posts on this exact thread - which guy shows how “stuffed” the wheels wells are w/ 35’s no lift - basically he is flexing the Jeep on hills to show how it fits. Rubi has high fender flares - rubbing is not supposed to be an issue w/ 35’s on Rubi!

Awesome thanks! The amount it would cost me for new wheels on top of 35s I could almost get the JPP Fox lift. Just didn't want any rubbing with the stock wheels and offset.

Not the pics I plan to post - cause she’s not cleaned up - but here’s my Jeep w/ the nitto trail grapp - 35 x 12.5 T17 - no spacers, stock wheels.

How's the ride with the tire? I'm assuming it's not a C load.

Update:

currently trying to find a shop that will install 35s on 17s. 4WP refuses to without a lift because of some stupid rule.

I also plan to run 35’s on stock suspension. I ordered 315/70 R17 KO2’s (C grade) and some 17 x 9 KMC Rockstar 3’s w -12 offset and had them painted to match the Ocean Blue Rubi I’m STILL waiting for. (Side note as of yesterday I’m in “I” status)






Will post pics when I get them mounted

Those wheels are beautiful!!! Well done. Can't wait to see them on your Ocean Blue Jeep.

Just put these on this past Tuesday. 315/70R17 (almost 35s). Black Rhino Armory wheels. 9.5 in wheel, -18offset. I did put on the tailgate reinforcement as well because there's a perfect spot for a CB antenna.

Hello. i was thinking about getting these wheels but worried about offset. how do you feel about this set up? does it stick out too much?
did you lift yours? or stock? any rubbing?
If you have any pic from front, it will be great to see it. Great set up and I really love these wheels.

I was worried about it as well but after they got put on I couldn't be any happier. No lift, no rubbing, and I think it sticks out the perfect amount. I'll take some photos in the morning. There's a good amount of space at full turn as well because of the offset.

Mickey Thompson MTZ P3 - 315/70/r17 (35x12.50 equivalent but slightly smaller) on stock Rubicon wheels that have been powder coated black.

How much was the powder coating?
