Hi, this is my first time posting in here and I am only doing so because I can't seem to find the answer anywhere else.
I have a '14 2-door Willy's JK. I just recently moved to the Houston, Texas area and took full advantage of their lack of tire coverage laws and removed my fenders completely. I just ordered 18x9.5 Black Rhino Armory wheels, also the reason I went with 18x9 is because I installed the MOPAR big break kit and although the stock 17" wheels fit believe it or not the balancing weights rubbed and i just didnt want to have to deal with that again so I went an inch larger. The new wheels have a -18 offset and from my calculations a 4.5413" back space. My question is, can I run 35x12.5 tires without rub on the sway bar linkage or any of that jazz at full turn? I'm assuming because I have no fenders and a 1.25" body lift i should be clear for travel up and down as I don't off road yet while I save for a lift. I'd rather not put wheel spacers on to create the clearance for the 12.5" tire. Looking for people who are running 35" tires on aftermarket wheels.

Thanks

I'm kind of interested in this as well. This is one of the wheels I'm considering purchasing. I have 35's on my JK right now with some chrome wheels that were on it when I bought it. Not sure of the backspacing on them and I have Teraflex budget boost on it.
