So will a 35x10.5 fit on the stock 17? Just need spacers?

No spacers needed. You can go as wide as 11.3inches without spacers

I was running 33's with 2inch spacers on my old jeep. I didnt care for weak suspension. If this is a mall crawler than you could go 35's. If mud and sand is your favorite this would also play nice. However, I finally did work 3 inch econo fulltraction lift, 35's, regeared to 5.13's, bumpers front and back. I no regret not having done this earlier. Look around the forum, and be honest to yourself about your needs. Then shop around.

Agreed. I went with the MB Chaos and 35 MTRs and the cost of the tires and wheels was the same price I was gonna pay for getting just the tires for a 16" wheel.

You got an oddball. Nearly all came with 18" wheels. No other model came with 18's... Thus 18's are dubbed Sahara wheels. 17's are Moabs... Just FYI

I have a 2.5" lift with 17" Liquid Metal Gatlin wheels (no spacers needed) and Nitto Trail Grappler 35x12.50. I love them. Great on and off the road.

Just put Black AEV Savegre Wheels with Firestone Destination A/Ts 315s on the Jeep, with a AEV 2.5" lift and really like the way everything came out.

My problem with spacers is 4 will run you $200 plus $100 to mount the tires. I got mine from DTD so mounting was free. I paid $140 a piece with a $100 rebate for buying more than 3 so $600 for 5 wheels that I really like compared to $300 for painted stock. For me it was worth the three bills to get a wheel I was happy with.

My only problem with Procomps is that the local dealer puts them on every lifted JK they sell so the Vegas credit card mallcrawlers all have them. Might be different in your city but here it screams I bought it like this.

I'm happy with my BFG AT 315/75/R16 (for about $260/tire mounted and balanced). I run with procomp wheels that were about 100 per rim.
Might also want to consider buying a set for sale here or craigslist, even if the tires aren't exactly what you want or with much tread, then upgrade tires later.
I also had great luck with the Kumho Venturers. They had approximately 55K on them (actually 64K but then you factor in the spare being rotated in) and they were great. Still were quiet and i actually sold them because there was so much tread left. I got 200 bucks for them. I believe they were 160/tire in a 285/75/R16. I'm not sure what they would be in a 35. WRT rims, i opted to spend a little more on the rims to get aluminum rather than steel because of the weight and because i drive on the beach and preferred something that would hold up to salt/sand better. I think you can get steelies for 50-60 per rim.

Mine is an 07 and has 17" wheels. I bought used so there was a chance of swap out but the build sheet says 17" as well.
