I have a 2011 JKU Rubicon that will soon have a 2.5" Skyjacker suspension lift installed. I'm looking at wheels and tires, and like the 18x9 Rockstar wheels and either the 35" or the 295/70R18 Nitto Trail Grapplers.
If I went with the 35" Nittos, would I need wheel spacers? I really don't want wheel spacers, so if the 295 would fit without them, I may go that route.
If by chance anyone has the 2.5" Skyjacker lift with Rockstars and Nittos, I'd like to see photos. Thanks!

 

If you are buying new wheels you won't need spacers with either tire.

 

If you get new wheels with 4.5" of backspacing or less you should be good to go with no spacers.

 

I believe the Rockstars have 5" of backspacing, but the 35 is 13.35" wide, whereas the 295 is 11.73" wide. Just not sure how much room I'll need. (Not an avid offroader... Yet, anyway.)

 

For a 11.5 to 12.5 5 is way to much. 4.75 would be the max. Now a 13.5 or larger 4.5-5 would be fine.

 

The 20" Rockstars have 4.56" of backspacing, but I really didn't want that big of a wheel.
I may need to look at different matte black wheels.

 

I'm buying XD monster with 35" trail grappler, so do I need spacer? Thanks advance
