Default 35's Question... Go figure

So the place I work next to is having a great tire sale and I need new tires. I wanna run 315/75/16 on my stock X wheels. I have no lift, but I'm not gonna go off roading until I get my lift. Can I run the spidertrax 1.5 spacers and 35's with no lift? For now...

I've seen other people squeeze them in but personally I don't think it would be good. Buy the tires and hold onto them till you get the funds for even a cheap 2.5" budget boost. then they will fit with spacers.

Put the 35s on and worst case is you hit a big bump and rub your flare a little. You said you plan lifting soon, so you should be fine. You wont be the first to do 35s no lift.

You can do a search 35s no lift and see other that have done this. Search it a few different ways. There are a bunch of post.

Cut your fenders in the front and it will be fine on road. Here is mine. No Lift 35x12.5 FYI

You can run them as long as you have 4.5 backspacing. I ran 35s with my flat style fender flares and it just rubbed the plastic splash guard inside the fender well. Little trimming and I didnt have a problem

DO NOT SETTLE. If you want 35's and a lift.....I say get the 35's and pop em on until you get the lift. Especially if you get spacers, the only problem will be a bit of flare rubbing....meh. Not the end of the world for the short time until you lift that badboy. Go for it!

I wouldn't put them on until you have some sort of lift. It doesn't look good, and you will be rubbing the fenders hitting speed bumps etc.
