Impulse buy for 35's

[Deriggs007]

Hey guys,

I had order 33" KM3's on Fuel Krank wheels and got called that Discount Tire wasn't able to get the Kranks in for an entire month and then the very last second, I went ahead and swapped them out for Fuel Assault and 35" K02's.

I know they'll fit, and I know there are 100's of threads, but I'm wanting some reassurance right now lol. I have a 2018 JLU Sport S, no lift/upgrade notta and going straight to the 35" K02's w/ Fuel Assault rims which supposedly add a +1 offset.

She's basically a mall crawler/pavement princess currently and our commutes are small. Will we be fine? After this upgrade, we won't have the cash for a while to upgrade to a solid lift, though I could get a Rubicon takeoff suspension pretty easily.

What are your thoughts? Should I call and cancel the K02's and stick with the KM3's... they did get them in stock already.

My Gladiator with the wider 4.10 axles fit 35s fine

My 295/70/17s (33.3" tall) were a bit tight w/ stock springs, but after the Rubicon swap I could run 35s without issue I'm fairly certain, although w/ the sock high gearing of the Sport axles I don't think I'd run more than a 285/75 (34" tall). With the 295s I don't hit 8th gear except on totally flat hwy running. Also the KO2s and KM3s are completely different tires, so if you want a all around 4x4 tire the KO2s get the nod, but if you want a much more aggressive mud tire the KM3s FTW!
As much as I like the KO2s, those KM3s are just bad to the bone!
Here's before & after

Thanks guys.

I had them swap out the KM3s to the K02s. It’s a daily driver and we won’t be doing any heavy trails anyways, so the K02s make more sense.

I got 35” tires anda coworkers brother is selling me his rubi suspension and fender flares for $300.

Speaking of fender flares. Do I need the liner? Or will mine fit?

You need the liners. Your rear bumper will not align with the Rubi flares, but it will fit. You will also need the plastics rivets and tool to mate The liners to the fender. Probably will need some white body clips. And maybe some band aids.

From my experience with the JT, sport liners wont work with rubi flares
