Is it dumb to put 35” on stock wheelsShould one just by wheels that fit? I mean are you asking for trouble...

looks the the tire dips into the wheel and looks almost kind of like an inflatable doughnut, but not sure if that’s the way it looks in person. Maybe it’s just the pictures?

I am looking at the 35”x12.5x18 Nitto ridge Grappler.

Because the rim is more narrow, there definitely is a little more tire buldge from the sidewall, but it's not bad. I think it helps protect the wheel a little bit to prevent wheel rash. Some folks say that it makes it less likely to come off the wheel when aired down, a "poor man's beadlock."

Waited a month to install “35s” on our JLUR. Going to stick with the stock rims as I did before on my JKU but this time I see no need for spacers. Fit is near perfect IMO with no rubbing on control arms at wheel lock to wheel lock while moving forward and in reverse.

Interesting was the expected yet minor indicated speed change comparison between the speedometer and stand alone GPS. It showed 35mph = 36.5, 66mph = 70.1 and 70mph = 74.5. Granted I was going from 285s “33s” to 315s “35s” and I suspect the difference would be more for a JL/U with the slightly smaller factors 265 tires.

I will be correcting the speedometer with an AEV Snap shortly.

Below “35s” on stock rims no spacer or lift.

A note on this last photo above the wheel is not bent outward, it just looks that way do to the angle of the photo.

Obviously this is a matter of taste, but I think that a lifted JLUR with 35s looks undertired - too much gap to the fender. It will take 37s to really fill out the wheel wells and balance things out. I'm going unlifted with 35s.

Looks good. Are those C rated? Any notable difference in ride?
