Want to add 35's to Stock Rubicon Wheels

[tomahawk]

Ok, so I just picked up my JLU Rubicon and now I would like to update my tires. I am looking at all-terrain (AT) tires, but not sure which brands to look at. All I know is that I think the 35's would do ok without a lift also I am not opposed to 315/70 17 as they are relatively close in size to the 35's. Your assistance in helping me choose is appreciated.

You’ll be fine in a rubi and 35. I drove mine around a few days on 37s while waiting for my lift to deliver.

Rolling on 35" BFG's have the 2" spacer not needed. I am going bigger same tire in 37 but waiting for steps to come in.

Are you running spacers? Synergy Manufacturing makes some good ones and I have battle tested them for sure.

No spacer here but I do like the wider look. Fenders hinges and door jam already pitted pretty good from rocks have you noticed any additional damage from running the spacers?

I have some chipped paint on door hinges, but that can happen no matter the setup. I the first song is tough then after that I realize it’s a Jeep and it’s going to happen. If you do run spacers, the Synergy brand is 1 5/8”, so not too much extra width and the tires still tuck nicely into the fenders. My build thread has a few pics.

Running 37x12.5s on stock wheels no lift right now. No issues daily driving at all other than a couple times rear inner fenders have rubbed a bit. Consider the @R 3 door hinge protectors if you are worried about the rock chips. On tires if you don’t want full MT but want the aggressive look consider the cooper st maxx. Picked up a used set while I decided on 37or 35s and pretty happy with them noise wise and all.

You bet, and good luck with yours!

I installed 2" spacers from Bora a month ago. No more rocks than without the spacers - either because my tires are worn a bit more or because the rocks are getting chucked behind me instead of into the door jams and fenders.
I really want to get the metalcloak overland fenders but not ready to drop another 1k.
