Anyone running 35s or 315/70R17s stock?

Hi. Scottsdale AZ.

LOL. I meant where were you making contact coming down the steps on the underside of your Jeep.

We are close by, have been wanting to hit Hot Springs. Will keep you in mind.

Good deal. If you're in DFW, the North Texas Jeep Club (NTJC) is extremely active

I'm currently running 35's on my stock JLUR. Back in August we went to Ouray and did several trails which resulted in two of the four fenders popping off at full stuff 4-5 times. It made an easy sell to my wife for a lift.

Does anyone have photos of 35’s on a stock 2-door Rubicon?

LOL! Skid plate in the area that would be just behind the front passenger seat.

Yeah... this is my hang up. It seems to be "common knowledge" that 35s fit no problem, and then I read anecdotes like this. I was hoping the extra 1in lift in the diesel would mitigate it - but it's looking like I'll need to find out for myself this weekend.

Sorry to burst your bubble... I was hoping the same thing but kept reading posts saying you could and couldn't. I've ran the same trails numerous times in my JKUR with a 2.5 inch lift so when I took my JLUR I knew where to go and what trails would flex it with 35's. Good luck in your quest!

35 " with 3/4" spacer up front to compensate for winch/ bumper. I had the slightest rub on the rear at max flex so I added a bumpstop spacer.

It all depends on what you are doing. You can run 35s on the road without a problem.

If you are going off road it will depend on the type of trail. Even with a lift and 35s you can experience rubbing if you flex enough. This is the reason why some people get after market fender flares or fender chops. These increase the distance between the tires and the fenders.

One size does not fit all. You need to determine how you want to use your Jeep and modify it accordingly.

I've read a few places that the JLURD has a little more lift than a stock Rubi - is anyone running 35s on stock wheels/suspension and if so is there any rubbing?

Yes, you can run 315/70/17 on stock rims. I also ran 37’s on my stock rims for some time even airing down had no problems

with stock wheels you will have rub at full lock, i run AEV pintlers so i didnt have that, but 35" was no problem on my stock Sahara, just a bit of rub at full flex offroad.
