Default Tire Swap Options?

I own two Jeep JK's. One is a 2012 JK Sport (wife) with stock rims and BFG KO2 (LT255/75R17) and a 2013 Jeep JK Rubicon with AEV rims and BFG KO2 (35X12.50R17LT). Due to back issues I am selling the Rubicon (6 speed) and taking the wife's 2012 Sport (automatic). I will not be going wheeling anymore.

I want the AEV Rims on the red sport. Instead of lifting the 2012 Red Sport I figured an easy way (low cost) would be to get spacers and move the stock rims to the 2013 Black Rubicon and mount the large tires on them BFG KO2 (35X12.50R17LT). And then mount the smaller tires BFG KO2 (LT255/75R17) onto the the AEV Rims and put them on the Red 2012. Is it possible to swap out the tires/wheels with the current setup?

I thought about doing a straight wheel/tire swap but the 2012 has no lift and is running stock gearing with an automatic.

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance...

They charge $10 per tire to mount, and $10 per tire to balance round here.....for $200 to make a swap like that. Not sure if cheaper where you are.....that would kinda stink to blow $200 to change em over, but is what it is if you like those wheels enough.
