35's on stock wheels

For those of you running 35s on stock wheels, have you had any issues? When I look at the allowed rim widths for 35s, most of them say min 8.5" wide. I know back spacing can be an issue, but is resolved with wheel spacers. I believe my stock wheels are 17x7.5.

No issues running 35s on stock rims as long as you have the wheel spacers. The only problem would be if the tire shop will be willing to install them....:beer:
 
No issues at all for about a year now. Like said above, I did have to convince the tire shop to put them on initially
 
No issues at all. The stock wheels did have some small rubbing on the front at full turns so spacers address that. On the rear, I HIGHLY recommend trimming the pinch weld if you have a Jeep older than 2012 if you are planning to do any offroading.

Stock wheels 35's no spacers test fitting:

I run mine this way. No problems at all. You tires will be a little taller. But that's a good thing. Just a tighter bead is what I say [emoji6]
 
No problem here either. I have a Rough Country budget boost, wheel spacers and flat fenders, and the 35's work great. I have a 2014, so no pinch seam to trim, but I did have to shorten the stock Rubicon X rock rails, as they rubbed in front of the rear tires. Think of the stock wheels as a poor man's bead locker, as it's going to be pretty difficult to break a bead when the tire is shoehorned onto a narrow rim. Discount Tire didn't say anything about mounting the tire on stock rims.

Here's an old pic of my jeep when I had 35x12.5x17 Toyo Open Country MT on stock wheels. No issues at all.

I've had no issues with mine and have been running them for a little over a year with G2 1.5" spacers.
 
Running 37x12.50r17's on stock wheels with 1.5" spacers. I do rub though at full lock on my lower control arms though, not that I turn to full lock when driving, just an FYI.

Strizzychris ran like this for a while. The only thing you will have to do is prob cut your fenders so you can turn without rubbing

I ran like this for a week. You're going to want to remove your front air dam below the bumper, then you'll be good for not rubbing while turning the wheel. You will however rub on the fenders when hitting bumps, unless you cut them. If you plan on keeping your setup like this for an extended period of time then cutting the fenders will be necessary.

So you think dirt road with washboard will rub? As of now that's the only driving I will be doing for a month or so, other than in town
