Default 35s on stock rims

Just wanna get some feedback from anyone running 35s on stock 17 rims. I just really love the look of the stock rims on my silver unlimited, Im currently running 33s with a 2" lift with spidertrx 1.5 spacers .

possibly 12.5 . Trying to find something with a 11.5 width but not having any luck. Got a price on 325/70s but I think their actually wider that 35/12.5

I run 35/12.50/17 Baja Claws on my stock wheels with no issues. Installed with rugged ridge 1.5" wheel spacers.

I am running the 18" stock wheels which would have a tendency to cause more problems than the 17's because of the shorter tire sidewalls.

I am running the Spidertrax spacers and I haven't had any issues with the spacers, alignment or wheel balance.

If you are concerned with the spacers, a quality spacer like the Terraflex or Spidertrax is unlikely to create evident problems in the short run (< 50-60,000 miles) if everything is torqued properly.
