Default 35s with no lift? Anyone have pics?

Basically, as it states, I'm looking for pics and opinions of running 35s with no lift. I love the stuffed look and I'm wondering how much trouble it is with that setup

I love the stuff look myself but once you start flexing it will rub all over the place.

I did it for a few weeks while I was waiting for the lift to arrive. If you don't off road you'll prob be ok, but with any flexing you'll be rubbing everything

Haven't done this yet, but once the Duratracs die, it'll be next on my list.

As for the rubbing, check out Planman's posts. Short version: Flat (or trimmed) flares, proper backspacing (or spacers) on your wheels, trim (or get rid of) the front airdam, and then extend your bump stops. Going from 32" to 35" tires, you'll need a 1.5" extension. Assuming that the 35"s you get are actually 35", that is. Get all that done, and you should be free of any rubbing with no lift.

Sorry I took so long to get back to you!
Duratracs 315/70/17
Blackrocks 909 17x8 with 4.5" backspacing
I would go with a slightly wider rim these tires feel squiggly with these rims, not scary but a very subtle movement. You will have to remove or trim the air dam. I've only driven it on the road like this.

Here is a pic of mine. I'm running 315/70/17's which are suppose to be about 34.4 in size. Most tires run smaller than advertised. mine measure out to be 34 on the jeep. I also have the bushwacker flat fenders.Click image for larger version
