Default 35 MTR on stock wheels, need spacers?

Ok so I ordered a set of 35" pro comps on 7105's... and the tires are out of stock for a month and a half and I can't wait.

Going in on Wed to get some 35" g/y mtr/kevlars mounted on my stock wheels (3" lift).

Do I need wheel spacers to push these out a little?

Can I at least get by for a few days while I wait for the spacers to get in? Will it rub at less than full travel?

Thanks for the help guys.

ifshin, how do you like yours?

It's not the "travel." It's the turning. I think you will also have issues with brakelines and swaybar links.

Only worried about getting the tires under it right now without rubbing, working a tire carrier later.

The MTR/Ks are very good tire, but if you really want the Pro Comps, one month is not a long time to wait for your first choice considering how long tires typically last.

Gotta move from SC to NV in two weeks, don't have the time to wait. Besides, the MTRs are the better tire from what I've read.... I just need them to fit for a few days while I wait for the spacers to show up.

Sucks to be stuck like that but I don't think they will fit. I would imagine there may be some wear on the rear sway bar liks at minimum? May even ruin your brand new tires
