Sport S NON Max Tow - 35's on stock wheels

[Jeep~N~Jay]

I have ordered my lift 3.5 Clayton. Has anyone with the non max tow axles ran 35x12.50's on the stock wheels without rubbing? Falcon does make and RT that is 35x11.50 which I think would work, but I would rather have the 12.50 width if possible. I can always run adapters/spacer if needed. Just trying to save the $1500 in wheels if I can help it.

TIA!

I run 37's on the stock wheels with a 1.75" spacer. The 37's definitely rub on the LCAs without the spacers, never tried it with 35's though.

Is yours a sport with the narrower axles?

Willys, so yeah, narrow axles.

Most likely will need wheel spacers.

35x12.5x 17 on stock Freedom Edition wheels. They rubbed at full turn on the lower control arms. Not during normal driving. Added 1.5 wheel spacers and no rubbing at all. First 2 pics are without spacers. Last one is with. Willys with narrow axles.

Looks good!
I put 35 12.50 17s on stock Rubicon wheels on the wife’s Sport with Max Tow yesterday. I had bought a set of 1.5” spacers but didn’t install them. No rub with the wider axles. Debating on going ahead and installing the spacers to see what it looks like.

I like the look of a little tire poke.
