Can any current JL owners who put 35s on stock suspension answer the ever debated question?

Do you rub? Can you flex?

Please let me know!

I am assuming it will rub at full articulation but it seems there hasn't been a straight forward answer yet. Looking for a video to show the stock suspension on 35s that would offer conclusive proof

Thank for the pics and good to know 35s will run on the stock rims with no issues. I read somewhere that the tire shop wouldn't mount them.

Can the ones who put on 35” tires on stock wheels let us know if you also added spacers. I’ve been told the original stock wheels are only 7.5” wide and too narrow for the larger tire. It would be best to add 1.5” or 2” spacers. True???

I just went to a local aftermarket place and they said that the 35s will be just fine on a stock rim

I put 35's on the Rubicon stock wheels which are 7.5" wide as have many others on this forum. Discount Tire had no issue with it and my Rubi rides wonderfully. Wheel spacers have nothing to do with the width of the rim. They are used when placing tires that are too wide and would otherwise rub the frame, etc. when turning. Spacers do not allow a narrow rim to accommodate a very wide tire, but rather push the rim away from the body of the vehicle. I hope that makes sense.
