Hello fellows. I've got a question. I have a 2018 JL Sahara that has the factory 18 x 7.5" wheels. I've added a 2.5" lift. I'm trying to find 35" tires that will use the factory wheels. I can get a set of Nitto's that, per their website, have an OD just over 35" and will fit 7.5" wheels. My questions are: Am I going to have clearance issues? Am I going to need spacers? etc. Any help is appreciated.

What is the width of your new tire vs the old tire? Most 35s are 12.5 in wide at least, and will likely rub without offset or spacers.

The Jeep has LT275/70R18's on it now. I put these tires on it not long after I bought it and have had no issues. They were put on a year or more before the lift kit was added.

35s are approximately the same size as 315/70. Substantially wider.

Here's a list of 285/75/18s should work fine w/ stock wheels, these are all E-load rated so expect a firmer ride.
