Okay... I know a 35" on the stock tailgate mount is maxing it out.... but, can you actually mount with the 3rd brake light?

Huge factor is, actual tire size.

When will a 35" actually be 35" tall?
I suppose if its a normal 34.5-34.8" tire with a wheel that mounts with some BS it would fit. But as you said, and many others as well, it is not ideal.

Which 3rd brake light? The one that came with the vehicle or an after market? Is this an after market wheel? Can you even fit your new 35" on the stock tailgate mount? Lots of information has been left out.

Most of us get an after market mount ... which means your 3rd brake light gets removed in the process.

With the right backspacing it'll work. I had mine like that for 2yrs. If the offset isn't right you'll need a spacer. But the brake light was just fine, any bigger and it wouldn't clear the top of the tire.

325/60 or 65/ 18 on stock sahara rims. I've not seen any spare adaptors so just curious if it will work.

Yes you can mount it, you just wont see the third light.

Oh, your going to need an adapter to bring the tire out about 2 or 3 inches. Then you can mount it.

Hey guys thanks for the help. Sitting at the dealer getting the rims and tires mounted.. I'm not putting them on the jeep today because the lift is not on yet.. This way I can mess around this seeing how it mounts.. help figuring out how to spare it out 2-3" would be great.. Surely I don't need to buy a spidertrax spacer, right?

I have the KM2s 35x12.50 and have a More 1inch body lift and have about 1.5 inches from my tire to the cutout for the tire on the bumper. Got the body lift just for that reason tll I get my aftermarket bumpers. So with not bodylift you will be real close to touching the bumper.

I had to cut out the 'notch' in the bumper to get my spare KM2 to fit. There's now a 12" wide hole, but it works for me until I can upgrade
