Default 35s with 2" and Xenon Flares

I have a quick question.... I currently have a 2 inch lift on the Pearl, I have done some measuring and research and I am thinking that if I get rid of the stock flares and replace with Xenon Flares (the skinnier ones) that I should be able to clear 35s, anyone agree or have some input.......

I beleive 35's on stock wheels rub in places other than the wheel wells.

I have the xenon's with 33's and no lift and have no rub issues - I also have 4.5" BS wheels...

all i have is a PA 1" body lift

rubs only at full stuff but it's not too bad at all. dosen't rub any suspension or steering parts just inner fenders.





my wheels also have 3 3/4" back spacing. you might want to look at new wheels or spacers.

Great pic by the way, so I should be safe (other than backspacing which I already knew would probably be an issue) with that set up......

Oh and due to "budget" contraints, new wheels are unfortunately out of the question!! I have about 5 months to get it ready for a week of offroading here in MI, so I have it all planned out but you know what the say, If you wanna hear God laugh, tell him you have a plan!!! I should be good though if you are running what you are and have not had any major issues. Thanks for the input!!!
