35s no lift no spacers
Quick question
This is temporary !!
I got trimmed fenders
Stock suspension on a rubicon
Can I fit 35 12.5 17 Sized tires with no spacers ??
It's almost winter
Don't plan on doing offroading so I won't need articulation
I do have a spacer lift waiting to b installed
Might b a few months though
And eventually I will have spacers or better rims
So for now can 35s fit on stock rims for normal daily driving? Cut fenders

Sure you can. It's your Jeep, you can do anything you want with it.
But, those tires are 2" wider than stock, and what, 3" inches taller than stock, right? So think about it for a few minutes. There is a reason people get spacers or new rims when they add bigger tires --> the inside edge of the new tires sits further 'in to' the wheel wells, and are more likely to contact other components.
Tire sizes vary, so no idea which components you might contact, but control arms and links might be a good guess. And you do plan to turn at some point, right? How much further into the wheel wells will those 2" wider, 3" inch taller tires go then? The cut flares will help when you are offroad, but for onroad, at least go up to the write-ups area, click the index at the top, and find the thread on adjusting the steer stops.

You can easily run the height with no lift and cut fenders, but your turning is gonna be limited. Throw wheel spacers on and you'd be fine. You'll also want to trim the rear pinch seam
Ps, winter wheeling is awesome!!!

I kno about the pinch seam
I will b doing that
And I will b running spacers or rims (when I get the cash )
But why wait ? Lol I'd love to have the wheels on now then do spacers whenever I buy them Orr buy rims
I do have a. Spacer lift but gotta get $ for the install
And I'm aware that it will rub when turning .. But it would only b for a month or two max

As for the wheel spacers, you wouldn't need them with aftermarket wheels with 4.5" or less backspacing...

You don't need wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels- don't let the masses fool you.
But.....if you elect to run those tires without moving them away from the components listed above then you can just about assure yourself a few cut sidewalls pretty quickly.
Your choice- $150 for spacers or all new tires because they have cut sidewalls. Just a temporary solution though. I see you've got a temporary solution for full words as well by eliminating the silent letters at the end....nice. B 4 u kno it, they'll b gon.
