Default Tire Size

My buddy is moding his 1997 TJ 2 door with an RC 2.5 coil suspension lift, bushwacker fender flares, spidertrax 1.5 inch spacers, and stock wheels. He wants to go with 35x12.50x15 tires but they rub the sway bar. What can he do or what size tire should he go with?

32's...Could fit 33's if he puts on the 1.25" BL. Or go with RC 2.5 with tube fenders should fit 35's.

Gotta go to a 6 inch to clear 35's, also need a wheel with a decent back spacing to step the tire out far enuff so it won't rub the control arm.
Got mine kicked out pretty far and lock to lock it still rubs, 35's on a 10inch wide wheel and like a 3 1/2 inch back spacing.. it still rubs a little.

.. even twisted up u can see how far mine stick out. Sorry don't have any close up pictures, but even with the 3inch extended bush wackers almost half the tire sticks past them
