Duratrac 35" tires. Stock Rubicon suspension, Rough Country 1.25" body lift, Rugged Ridge flat fender flares, trimmed rock rails and pinch seam, front stubby.



I have no rub at full flex, even with the swaybar disconnected.

I just want to be sure, I have a 09 jku sahara, and am going to pull the trigger on 35s with new wheels and flat fenders. I just want to make sure they will fit and not rub in everyday driving. thanks in advance guys

You SHOULD be good if you have flat fenders. When I had my stock fenders on with the 35's, they would scrub a little when I hit a bump, but after I pulled them off, I never rubbed on the street. You'll probably need to do a little trimming/bending on the rear, forward pinch seam though. Post pics when you get your stuff installed.

I run that setup right now and you'll be fine (mines a rubi). I'm running 315/70/17's and the wheels have 4.5" backspacing. Only thing you have to do is trim that crappy plastic airdam.

Thanks! They were Cragar Soft 8's, 15x8, 4" backspacing and -12mm offset. We had to shave the front calipers a bit to make them fit properly, but it was worth it IMO. I think some people go with 3.75" backspacing and sometimes don't have to grind on the calipers Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm surprised a company hasn't come up with a cover plate for the no fender look!
Seems like some one like Poison Spyder has the body mold for their fenders.....just dont weld on the fenders! Send them bare....we paint them

Everyday driving should be fine but you'll probably find a few rubs off-road. I had to turn my front bumper into a stuby because the tires would rub when articulated and turned (and I had to trim the pinch seam, even with the body lift).

I'm sure if you ask nicely the guys at Poison Spyder could make something like that up for you
