Rubicon Going To 35s

[Mikester86]

No it does not but rough country carries an extension that works great it’s easy to install and you can keep your same brake light

That sucks, adding anymore weigh to the tailgate will put me over the 85 lb. mark. So a spare tire relocation bracket will be added weight. I was really hoping it would fit....

Can anyone comment if 315/70/17 KO2’s will rub on a JLUR at max flex if I put on a 0.5” coil spacer and 0.5” bumpstop spacer? My friend is selling his raptor takeoffs cheap and I’m considering buying them. Wife doesn’t want a lift we we’d appreciate the softer ride off road.

I doubt it. I have a JLUR with Milestar Pategonia 35s. I ran them with no lift for a while and would only get mild rubbing at full flex. If you have any additional lift at all, I think you would be fine.

I now have a 2.5 inch spacer lift and think my tires look tiny. Would definitely go to 37's with a 2.5 inch lift.

Hmm, mine fits fine (35x12.5x17) on the stock carrier.

seems to depend good deal on the tire, as well as which bumper you have.

for another data point, 35x12.5-17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss MTs did not clear the bumper on my Willys with its factory plastic bumper.

I have been driving the Nitto trail grapplers 35x11.5x17 on my JLURub and like them. Only have 1500km on them. I don’t find them noisy on paved roads.
I do have the mopar 2” lift kit

Rim width? Did the spare mount up fine on the stock tire carrier? Considering these tires on the stock Rubicon wheels.

Rims are 17x8.5 and I installed the mopar tailgate reinforcement kit with oversize spare tire mounting kit so I don’t know if the tire will fit properly on the stock mount

This size 35x11.5 will fit on the stock rubicon wheels

Bought Nitto Trail Grapplers 35x11.5r17s. Have Rubicon and installed on OEM rims. No lift. Took on some mild off road that did involve full flex. I noticed slight touching on the bulge in back of rear wheel well liner under full flex. Before and after pics below.

i should also note that i found evidence of a tiny bit of rub of the front tires on the LCAs at full lock.
but i expect that to be resolved by the kinked Teraflex LCAs sitting in the garage waiting to be installed.

curious; was that the Mopar oversize spare tire mounting kit you used? if yes, did you have to relocate the CHMSL (3rd brake light) with the 35" tire?
fitting a 35" Micky Baja Boss M/T on the Mopar oversized spare kit seems to really strain the CHMSL the way my dealer mounted it all up,.. wondering if i need to take it apart to see if they did something wrong (again)!

I have Fifteen 52 Analog wheels that are: 17x8.5x17 w/4.75 backspace. Would the Nitto 35x11.5s rub even more since they stick out a bit more? When I went from OEM JLUR rims to these they do stick-out about 1" from the fender.

Yes it is the Mopar oversize spare kit. I didn’t have to relocate the brake light, it seemed to fit ok but I ended moving it anyway because it was sticking up too much when I was looking in my rear view mirror.
I got a kit to relocate it above the backup camera

I’m looking at these Toyo’s in 35x11.5x17, any pictures or feedback is appreciated.
