Help! 35’s on Sahara

[bcooper99]

Help! Found these 35x12.5s on Facebook for a steal.
Wondering if they would look ridiculous on my Sahara. It’s just hard to visualize the rim/tire combo. I see other people have fit 35’s w no lift, but unsure if the offset would be enough to clear.

Thanks for any opinions

Damn that looks awesome man. What kind of lift are you running?

I guess I'm more asking about the rims themselves, the ones I found just look a little shitty I think. Could be wrong

Just a mix-match of DIY lift (Synergy Coils + Teraflex Falcon Shocks + Metalcloak bars) I've put together that gave me around 2.5" of lift.

On stock rims they are going to rub on the control arms, and there will be major rubbing on the fender flairs & liners with any flex without a lift.

remember that the Rubicon is not just an inch taller than the Sahara. The bigger difference for fitting larger tires is that the front fenders are 2” higher than Sahara / Sport fenders.

wheel spacers would help clear the control arms, but i would still be worried about the fender liners.

What’s the overall measurement height of your Jeep now? Also, is this a Sahara or Rubi?

I don't have a measurement on that (probably 4-5" taller than stock overall) but its a Sahara

looks damn good! I’m wanting 37s on my Sahara with stock wheels but don’t want to re-gear and all that crap. You might’ve just sold me on this setup.

I had these same tires on an F150. Look at the center of the tread, they are almost worn out. On my F150 the ride was harsh and got worse with age. They are load range E. I know that with the wear they have on them now, that they have almost zero wet weather traction. A hard pass. Not worth it for free, unless you need to sell it and keep your good wheels and tires.

Hey everyone, new to forum, hopefully someone can help me out with my question! This is my first wrangler (21' Wrangler Sahara 4XE) and I was wondering what's the biggest tire I can put on the car with stock 20" rims?

2” spacer lift and 35x12.5xR17 on my Sahara with stock fenders. Also helps to be Sting-Gray, the magical color that surprises me even after I’ve already had this for a couple of years.

Hi, Congrats on the tires by the way!

I got a Sahara with 35X12.5R-18 BFGoodrich All-Terrains with a 2.5" Rough Country lift. The bigger tires will not look ridiculous, I can promise you that.

I would suggest a 2" lift, but it's your call.

That looks awesome man, definitely trying to go for something like this. What spacer kit did you use?

I was looking at the Teraflex 2.5" but I heard people were having issues with the sway bars. Maybe that was just on Rubicons.

I have the SST 2.5” spacer lift for JL Sport/Sahara from ReadyLift. Not what you want for hard core off-roading but plenty for my needs which are primarily to get me into the back country where the US Forest Service road maintenance budget has fallen off.

Looks great!!.
Which 2" Spacer lift did you go with? Can you please link it here?
Sorry just confused. Your original reply mentions 2" but the response to bcooper99 says 2.5".
I am actually looking for 2" lift not 2.5".
