I have a 2021 sports max tow with a daystar 1.5 leveling kit bolted my dads fuel wheels to it they are 35x12.5x20 they fit no rub at full lock left and right with plenty of room but they have a huge offset was curious if anyone is running 35s on stock wheels without issues don’t want to have wheels spacers and don’t want to have to buy wheels since I like the look of these stock Moab wheels

I am running Nitto Trail Grappler M/T's 315/70R17 ie. 35 x 11.50 on stock wheels on my stock Rubicon. I had slight rubbing on an inner fender that was cured with a zip-tie pulling that corner back. No rubbing lock to lock, no rubbing at full articulation so far; I have really tried.
Rumor has it that the suspension height is the same and the claimed extra ground clearance for the Rubicon is due to bigger tires. I cannot confirm this but would be willing to take measurements to compare. Maybe top of diff housing to frame would give accurate enough comparisions.

I ran Nitto Terra Grapplers (35's) on stock Rubicon wheels for a month or so without any issues whatsoever. Finally changed the wheels to Fuels in order to get the look and off-set I wanted.

I threw on these wheels and tires that I saved from JK when I first brought home the Gladiator. 315/70/r17 Patagonias on stock JL Rubi wheels. Some minor rubbing at full lock. This picture is with a Teraflex 1.5" level kit.

I would like to upgrade to 35's when its time to replace the OEM tires.

Really do not care to have to replace the wheels.

Is there a list or source that shows which 35's would fit stock Rubicon with stock wheels without any rubbing issues?

I have stock suspension on a Sport S with stock wheels running Kenda 35x10.5r17.

No issues so far. Only thing I did was remove the air dam between the fender and bumper

I'm trying to figure out, why do some Sport models have that air dam in front of wheels between bumper and fender , and some don't?

Any 35x12.50 or 315/70 will fit the wheel and be fine, however, none are actually manufacturer recommended for the 7.5 wheel. I put together this list of the biggest tires from each brand that fit the wheel within spec. I went with the Toyo A/T III 35x11.50.
