35 x12.50 17 Coopers on stock rims. Running 1.5 spacers and an RK 2.5 lift.

The lift is AEV 2.5" DualSport XT Suspension with AEV Front Drop Brackets. I gained about 3" from the stock Willys Wheeler Suspension, which would be about 4" over a stock Sport JKU and that is with heavy ARB front bumper/winch and rear bumper/tire carrier. These measurements were with the stock BFG Mud Tires and before I installed Goodyear DuraTrac 315/70/R17 Tires.

So what options do I have in the 35" tire size? My preference is an All Terrain this time and was going to go with the ATKO2 from BFG.... I will be putting the Teraflex 2.5" lift on.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I just priced all the above (TF 2.5) - keeping my 17" stock wheels (I have an anvil gray with red accent Hard Rock ed.) and using spacers. I like the Mickey's, too - but pretty pricey. Off brands I noticed at good prices: Coopertires? NITTO? And BFGs...but M/Ts (not sure I want that).

I've run Nitto Trail Grapplers in 37x12.50-17s for about 45k miles now and still have some tread left. Granted, not too much at this point and I think I've finally reached a point where I lose some traction in fairly wet off-road conditions, but I have zero complaints about them! Like any M/T, they do have some road noise, but not nearly as bad as some other tires I've heard. They wear really well (I've rotated them about every 3k miles) and perform well both on and off road. They are quite heavy, but show me a 37" tire that's not. Balance really well (no issues) and considering the size are actually pretty budget friendly. You'd really be hard pressed to find a better tire at a better price. I have a set of Toyo Open Country RT's in 33x12.50-18 on my truck and even though they're the same rubber compound (both manuf. at the same plant in GA), the Toyos cost me almost as much as a new set of 37x12.50-17 Trail Grapplers.

Honestly, I can't say enough about the TG's personally. Will definitely buy another set in the next 12 months to replace the ones I have now.

I run the same tire in a 37 12.5. Discount tire won't mount a 12.5 inch tire on a stock 7.5 inch rim. It is against their policy.
Is your wife's jeep lifted? I am considering these tires if they fit without a lift. I an currently running Hankook MT 285/70R-17. If a lift is required I may just go to 35's. I'm already regearing to 4.56 and planning bigger brakes.
