Ummmmm............I have 35s (soon to be 37s) on my 07 JKU X. Then again, I also have a 4.5" lift. Are you talking about an unlifted rig?

You'll need to provide more information dude.

You shouldn't run 35's on your stock suspension and stock wheels. The tires will rub everything.

At the minimum, you would have to do 1.5" spacers and flat fenders. You'll still have some trim work to do.

The axle c's (where the ball joints attach to the outer c's) tend to bend if not reinforced. Before I went to 35s I had the axle sleeved and the c-gussets installed.
