Almost everything that I have heard, read and seen blesses the JL Rubi's with the ability to replace the 33's with 35's. (You also have to change the wheels, as the stock wheels are too narrow... according to the tire recommendations and warranty.) I have read a few posts stating that there may be some slight rubbing with extreme spring compression. For most of us, that will probably never happen. The 2018-2019 Rubicon's have about a 2" lift advantage and higher mounted fenders than the Sport, Sport S and Sahara models, creating the extra room for the 35's. I really hope that 35's are a factory option on the 2020 Rubicons.Can anyone confirm that Jeep Officially blessed the use of 35" tires on the Rubicon? I'm analyzing whether 35s would void or limit the factory or extended warranties.
TIA
Agreed. That's what I've concluded as well. I'm trying to figure out any warranty issues from mounting 35s. The Factory Warranty and/or Extended Service Contract (can't remember exactly right now) excludes damage "caused by oversized tires." So if they "blessed" 35s, then they aren't oversized tired. I've called my local dealer who said no worries with 35s, but I'd rather get a more definitive answer...especially since I might move one day & be at the mercy of another dealer.Almost everything that I have heard, read and seen blesses the JL Rubi's with the ability to replace the 33's with 35's.

Would you be willing to share what that looks like?I installed the Mopar 2" lift and 37" tires, and then took it to my dealership, and they certified the install IN WRITING that it was done correctly and would be fully covered under warranty.
I know Rubicons come with 17" wheels, but there's a few 285/75-18 tires that fit on a 7.5" wheel. They spec out to 34.8" which is a nominal 35" tire. So I guess you could take 18x7.5 Sahara wheels with 285/75-18 (35" x 11.5") and put them on a RubiconWho makes a 35 that’s approved to go on the factory Jeep 7.5” rim? I cannot find any.
Discount Tire and a number of other professional installer companies WILL mount 315/70/17s on stock wrangler rims. A large number of folks on this board have that combo.Who makes a 35 that’s approved to go on the factory Jeep 7.5” rim? I cannot find any.
