Do 35's on stock height look "stuffed"?

I was so dead set on installing these 60/61/90/91 Rubicon springs after getting these (very, surprisingly nice) 35" Kenda Klevers done up. But now that they're on there... I kinda like it.

Does it look "stuffed"? Cramped? It rides so damn well on stock height with these tires at ~32 PSI.

Had 4.56s and an Eaton Truetrac put in earlier, and couldn't be happier. It rips, and the wheels just hook up for a proper two-wheel peel with zero effort.

Looks good but stuffed IMO. 2” lift would really complete the look!

I'd run the minimal (or no) lift needed for no rub. If you're not rubbing it looks great. If you do rub with articulation, you can just split the inner fenders and put in some Cav Fab liners or similar.

Reminds me of the time a bunch of us were at the Cowboy Christmas event in LV. One of my dearly departed friends tried on some chaps and stood in front of a mirror, turned around a time or two, and asked us other guys if they looked good.

Looks awesome. Wouldn't lift it unless there was any rub in your use cases.

We were going to put 35’s on our JL but then we got a flat in the boonies. My husband is 75 and I’m 68. Lifting the 33” on and off the back and holding that sucker up to find the lug bolts made us decide the 33’s are big enough. Good thing we both work out!

That's the way it should look.

Too many people lift their rigs for "looks" while it lowers the performance. The least amount of lift to clear the tires, in your case no lift, is the right amount of lift. The vehicle will have a lower center of gravity, get better mileage, less wear on parts, all of it. What you have going on is much better than putting a lift on it just for looks. Remember too, you have the same ground clearance as someone running 35" tires and a 4" lift.

Agree. I think I'm going to keep it as is.

To answer questions: No, it does not rub at all, lock to lock.

I went with 35x10.5" instead of 315/70 (12.5"), because OEM sport tires are the same width (within ~10mm). More width is what seems to cause rubbing with factory offset (+44mm).

I bought these wheels to keep offset almost the same (+30). With this combo, scrub radius is the same as OEM, and handling is great.
