What you need to realize is that it's not so much of weather you have a lift or not, sure it helps, but having the right backspacing on your wheels. I have 4.5" of backspacing and my tires are almost as wide as his. I don't rub and I don't have a lift.

I agree.......that's why a few of us didn't like how he was basically talking crap about us and our jeeps, by saying how we couldn't even think about any "remotely serious" wheeling because we didn't have as big of tires as he has. Which is bs. So we called him on it. That's all....

Does anyone foresee any rubbing? I dont want to deal with spacers and whatnot for the time being so I'm hoping this will fit properly.

Thanks alot!
It shouldn't rub I put 305/65/17 on my rubicon with no lift and it hardly rubs.

More like 3/4 after weight and all is factored in. The only reason I'd go with 35 is look, not performance. I've already out driver people off-road while stock with SRA's. Does that mean I can't be outdriven because I don't have the right tires? No. Just means tire doesn't make the driver, the driver uses what he/she's got to their best ability.

This is the truck I rescued ... Look at those tires .... Stupid is as stupid does. :-p I had way more fun pulling him out than I did trying to go through that mess. :-p
