You might rub a bit with them when its at full flex. It will be fine.

Ive these tires, at 27psi they measure only 34.25" diameter, so easier fit than other supposed 35s

man this is making me crazy. tires are sooo expensive now. i just want to get it right

what advantages are there to larger tires vs smaller tires with more travel room? I mean nothing sucks more than knocking off lugs and having to live with it

I went with 33's because im still running 4.10's. 35's kill what little power I have in the 4cyl. Just to much tire for being stock gears.

thanks for your help

I went with 33x12.5x15 SSR radial Super Swampers

I have the gears (4.56 with lockers and 4.0 high output engine) and transfer case Atlas 2 but I was too worried about travel clearance in the end

this forum is a big help

thx

You probably did the right thing. I run 35's on my YJ and occaisionally hit the front of the rear fender well. And, I'm running a spring over with a 1 inch body lift. So about 6-7" of lift. The YJ fender wells are just too small.
