Question Can 35's fit with 1.75 inch lift and Flat fenders?



Just as the title says, I'm thinking about upgrading from 33s to 35 inch toyo Mud terrains. I was wondering if I could fit 35's with my 1.75 inch daystar budget boost and flat flares?
Thanks!

I haven't done it and it would probably depend on the flares but I don't see why it wouldn't. Worst case you'd need to use some extended bump stops.

Yeah, I haven't seen it done so that's why I'm nervous. I have factory fenders cut to flat flares.

It can be done. Just going to have to do some trimming and bump stops.

you need 4.5" back spaced wheels or wheel adapters with the factory wheels.

With flat flares and 35s, you can run stock front bumpstops.

For the rear, you need 0"-2.5" extended bumpstops, depending on how much of the entire rear fender well pinch seams you are willing to cut.

I have this exact set up. 1.75 daystar and smittybilt flat flares. 315/70/17 BFG all terrain. It works fine. I trimmed the rear pinch seam and added just a tad longer bump stops.

That's perfect, I just need to cut my Rocker rails then I can clear them, cause I have a 2014 rubicon unlimited, and the pinch seams are already cut.
