PSA: They rub. They rub. They rub. With the smallest 35 (a 315 KO2), the sway bay connected, and with plenty of room between the bump stops...they rub. Lol
"Room between the bump stops" actually makes rubbing worse, you know? It is pretty well documented that at full stuff the rears rub. The fenders just don't have enough clearance.

That mojito green looks nice!! I’m thinking years from now it will become one of those rare colors.
Just like Inca gold from back in 03 when the Rubicon made its debut.

Good to know since I would plan on the 35" MT/Rs as soon as feasible. Do they rub in the front or only in the back? How much room to the bump stops when they are rubbing (i.e. how much more would they flex and push into the fender)? Is the rub only on the plastic or is there anything on a metal piece?

Looks great! Did you go with any offset on these wheels?

I would guestimate about 4 fingers in the rear and more than a fist in the front (ha! that's what she said)
