Will 35's fit on my Rubi with just 1" coil spacers? Long enough to get me to the shop for the lift?

I'd be looking at about 5 hrs of freeway from the tire shop. Just trying to figure out some logistics. Not sure if they'd be undriveable without further modifications, or if they'd be fine for a day of pavement.

You should be fine if your only driving there...just dont hit speed bumps!!

You should be ok, just watch any bumps and such. The other option is to drive their on stock tires, and then put on your 35's once you get home.

Local shop put them on a stock X no problems...on the road! I would not go off road or hit a speed bump!

Just a quick followup:

YES the 35x12.5 BFG KM2's will fit with the 1" TF kit, as long as you are keeping it on flat ground. I rubbed a fender well once when crossing a railroad track in a shallow dive, and there was very light rubbing on the lower front control arms at full steering lock (17x8, 4.25 BS). Thanks for the advice guys, you were spot-on.

For comparison, here it is with the 4.5" RE lift and NO spacers:

Any pictures of the back clearance on the factory rock rails?

Btw, thanks for the follow-up, it always helps to get confirmation to speculation.

With the spacers only? Not the kind of close-up you probably want, but here is a zoom from the high-res, taken at a slight angle:



The clearance there was small, but never caused any issues in the few days I ran it in that configuration. Even with the lift, the clearance there isn't much, and I will probably go ahead and ask a friend with a plasma cutter to trim the rail back, flush with the wheel well.
