No lift? Wheel spacers? I plan to lift my Sport S, but at the moment I think all I can afford are some new shoes and was curious about fitting 35's on stock wheels and adding a lift and different wheels down the road. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
35’s fit and do not rub (off road full flex with sway bars disconnected will likely rub especially without the wider max tow fenders) with no lift, no wheels spacers, but you will have to remove the air dams. I did eventually install a 2” leveling chop (actually 1.5” above stock ride height since you have to remove the stock coil spacer) which you can get for <$100 and install yourself. I had a tire shop do it for $150 including an alignment. Here are some pics with my rig without the 2” spacers.

Thanks! Although I like the highway speed ride (a little less bounce and drift), and look of the rubicon wheels and 33” ATs, I was very happy with the ride and look of the 35” MTs on the stock sport wheels. Can’t wait to swap and hit ze trail! Both highly functional for mud, sand, and snow.

Here’s it with the 2”(actual 1.5” above stock ride height) front spacer with the 35”s.

Here she is all done sitting on the Alloy USA 1.5" front leveling kit with a 0.75" Daystar rear spacer. I really like how well the wheels look too. And the price I paid for them was even better after taking advantage of their pre Christmas special.
