Default 35's on stock suspension

Is this possible short term? I have a appt Friday to get my 315/70R17 Duratracs installed and my lift was supposed to be here thursday but get delayed and wont be here till saturday. I wont be able to install it now until the following wednesday. Is anyone running with this tire size on stock suspension, i have a 14 JK Sport S. It will be on stock wheels with 1.5" spacers. Thanks for the info.

Trial fit one mounted up on each corner to look for issues first, that way you can still leave the other four to get home if need be.


Not with stock wheels.

Not with rock rails - they will hit them and maybe the pinch seams too.

They will rub on full lock steering.

Fit my 35's (trail Grapplers) fine on my 11. It rubbed my rock rails from time to time. I would do at least a leveling kit until you opt for a lift. You have a 14' you might not rub at all since your pinch seams are already modified from factory. I would evolve your front air dam if you haven't already. My tires physically ripped mine off... Lol.

Why not just reschedule your appointment until after your lift is installed?

not sure when my next day off will be with the fire situation going on now. They got them from another store for me and have always given me friends and family discount.

Trail grapplers on AEV wheels, the only place it rubbed was on the rock rails. It was fine for any street driving after I trimmed them. No rubbing anywhere...
