35/11.50-17 on stock sport S wheels w/2.5 inch lift

[King Nothing]

Will they clear with a 2.5 inch lift? I have a max tow with the wider axles of that makes a difference

Sure will. My 315 70 17 BFG KO2S cleared with no lift. Mine where 12.4 wide and 35 high, had no issues without a lift and they did and looked great with a 2.5" lift as well. I'm now running 37's with a 2.5" lift. Mines a Max Tow as well

No lift 315 70 17

With 2.5" Readylift SST lift kit same tires

On 37 12.5 17 with Rubicon Takeoff springs in the front and 2.5 Readylift SST lift kit

Thanks. I like that look. Now I need to compare 35/11.50 vs 315/70

What tire are you going to run at 35 11.5 17? That's a hard one to find.

Nitro trail grapplers M/Ts come in that size also.

wide track axle helps so you don't need wheel spacers. I have 35x12.5x20 and clear with just a leveling kit.. well past that now but your answer is yes

Interesting thread... I am thinking I should be able to go to 35's on my stock rims without a lift on my JT Mojave without a problem or rubbing.

Yes I run a 1,.5 inch spacer with 275 80r17 = 35x10.8r17. I have a max tow with rubicon wheels. I have ran it hard thru the desert, no rubbing at all.

Tell me about it!

$514 a piece for the ones on mine, over $2000 for a set of 4. I wouldn't pay that much for them. I found mine on marketplace for $500 for 4 with 75% life left. They are great tires but I'd say they are no better than a mastercraft courser other than the Kevlar sidewalls. They are light for a 37, 72lbs a piece.

I buy my tires on eBay here is a link for 4 for 1400. I got 4 for 1100 in august. But things are getting expensive.
