Any issues????
I currently have a 2012 Rubi with the stock mineral gray rims and want to upgrade to 35s. I have a 4" ARB/OME suspension lift in my dining room waiting for a sunny weekend to install but need some help with the tire and wheel combo. I know that the rims are 17x7.5, but the only thing is that most of the 35x12.5 tires state that they need a 8.5-9" wide rim. Are there any issues that I should know before purchasing 12.5" wide tires to go on the stock rims (aside from the 1.5" wheel spacers of course). I am referring more to an uneven wear of the tire, warranty and if it is too much stress on the bead of the tire... Any info on this would be great!
Thanks guys

The stock wheels are 7 1/2 wide and my 315/70/17's went together with no problems at all. They balanced out almost perfectly and they ride nice too. I am only running about 30psi and the tires look like they have a good contact pattern. I guess I will see how it goes.
So Far I really like the way it looks and drives!

I've only noticed a few 35's on the 18" sahara wheels. Anyone else running 35's on these wheels? Just curious what sizes (metric or standard) and what brands people are putting on the 18's. Thanks.
