Ok i wanna go with 35's on my jk but like the low cog look and i am wondering if i will be ok running 35's with just a leveling kit on my rubi for a few weeks untill i can trim the fenders or get flats.... ive got a tera flex leveling kit and spider trax spacers already... will i be ok on 35's or what a good size if i wanna stay with the leveling kit i have now.... like 285/70/17 or bigger? or no


also whats a good tire for 70 30 highway/ wheeling.... thank you!!!

 

With flat flares and spacers or aftermarket wheels you should be fine...Im pretty sure you will rub if you are all stock tho

 

With flat flares (and spacers or 4-4.5" BS rims) you should be able to do 35s without a serious problem. You might get some rubbing at the tub in the rear on the body seam. A bit of trimming there would solve that easily.

As far as the tire choice, there's quite a few good options. For what you mentioned I'd look at BFG (AT KOs, MT KM2s), Goodyear (Duratrac) or Cooper (ST). I'm partial to the KM2s myself. If ice is something you're worried about, the Duratrac might be a better option--just keep in mind they have a soft sidewall that's damage prone on rougher trails. The Cooper ST is like the Duratrac in that its categorized as a commercial traction tire (not an AT like some assume the Duratracs and STs are.) Downside is Cooper lacks the nationwide network of retailers that Michelin/BFG and Goodyear possess. Not a huge deal, but that can be a factor to some.

 

Tf 2" extended bumpstops in rear and your golden.

These pics have tf puck leveling kit, 325/65/18 duratracs, bw flats.
