Default 35 tire question

I am getting some 35's, but am not getting a lift kit just yet. Can I run 35's for regular daily driving on my 2008 unlimited without any rubbing issues?

that would be a, no...

If you put 35's w/o a lift you wont be able to even drive over a pebble w/o it rubbing...

33's are the tallest that you can run w/o a lift... and you still might rub a little bit.

Even with a 2.5 in bb , they'll rub some offroad. If your going low budget, do a BB with a 1in body lift. Ran mine this way for a few months, no rub.

The other thing to remember is that if you are not geting new wheels with at least 4.5" of backspacing, you will rub when you turn also...unless you get wheel spacers.
