Tire setup recommendation(1.5 front spacer leveling kit)

[Thankyouforyouranswer]

Hello. This is my first Jeep experience.
I just got gladiator sport s(max tow) and installed Teraflex 1.5 spacer leveling kit(front only).
Now, I am looking for tires and wheels.
I read other threads saying that 1.5 front spacer will clear 315.
My questions are

1. Will 1.5 front spacer clear 35x 12.5x17 without trimming or modification?
2. Do I need rear spacers?

I am thinking about Black Rhino Primm(17x9) with BF Goodrich KO2(35x12.5x17)
Any comments or suggestions are welcome
Thank you

I’m sorry that I can’t live up to your username expectations but can you post a picture of your truck with the level kit? I’m getting mine installed this weekend.

This may help you a little, though not exactly the size in question.
Mine is an 80AE. Added the Teraflex 1.5 to the front. The tires are 295/70R18 which is a 34x11.5. They do stand just a touch taller than the 315/70R17 on my daughters JKU.

Note that my 80AE seemed to set really low in the front before the spacer. I measured about 2.5 inches of rake. So if yours has less, then you should get more clearance than I did.

Thank you for pics. Good looking truck.
No mod or rubbing issue?
I might go same setup as yours.

Only real mod is the 1.5” spacer. I also added the Mopar lower control arms just to add back some caster and help it handle a little better. No rubbing on full left or right. I don’t ride any trails that require extreme articulation, but for minor trails they clear fine.

I just took a 1.5" lift off my Gladiator Max Tow on 37" BFG KM3 (a smaller 37", about 35.5" tall). I would rub on my RR Full Width Bumper when turning into an area and hitting a good bump. Replacing it with a 3.5" lift.

For a 315, which is closer to a 33.5-34" tall tire, I would think you wouldn't have any issues with a 1.5" kit. I was almost issue free on a 2" taller tire.
