Rubicon axle width and rubicon fenders

[Mr Weekend]

Just looking for a little help. New to the jeep family. I have a 2020 jeep Gladiator Sport. I have lifted it and now have 35's. Can someone tell me if the Rubicon fenders are wider and or offer more clearance ? Also are the Rubicon axles wider then the one's on my Sport model ?

Rubicon front fenders are mounted slightly higher maybe 1,5 inches. The Rubicon axle is one inch wider. Both of these offer additional clearance for larger tires. Your tires will fit but may experience rub issues when flexing. Clearance can be gained through wheel offset and/wheel spacers. Also, Rubicon or aftermarket fenders will get you some clearance.

I'm running a -18 offset on my wheels. Rubicon shocks and springs plus the level kit from Teraflex. I get a slight rub on the top of the fenders when fully flexed out and will probably go to Rubicon Fenders...
What size is your lift?
I know I am also regearing to 4.88.

.75" longer each side. 1.5" wider total.

Thanks for the help with the fenders and axle question. I think I am among the minority when it comes to tires protruding past the fenders. My current tires and wheels are fuel 701 Ammo 17/9 / -12 w/ 4.52 BS. , with Nitto terra Grappler G2. They stick out about 2.5-3 inches beyond the fenders on my Gladiator Sport. I am in the process of researching new wheel to try and give me the look I am looking for. If anyone has suggestions please send them my way.

Dig the Rat Patrol tan theme going on. Loved that show back in the late 60's (although I had to watch re-runs in the early 70's)

Hello , just a question regarding my Gladiator Sport. Would anyone know what the highest positive back space I can run without having rubbing issues ? I want to get the tires as close to under the fenders as possible. My tires are 35/12.5/17.

@Mr Weekend , Others mentioned the Rubi axles are wider and the Rubi fenders openings are taller. But you also asked about if the Rubi fenders are wider than sport fenders. They are wider than sport fenders.

I swapped to Rubi fenders from sport, non-max tow fenders and needed to add wheel spacers to fill the width of the Rubi fenders. This was with stock Rubi wheels/tires.
