Default 325/65/18???

I have a 2012 Jk. Found some wheels and tire combo. Wondering if they will fit with no lift. It's not a daily driver. I have cut fenders. Wheels have 4.5bs and -15 offset. Has terra grapplers on it. Is it worth the buy?

Those convert out to 35's right? You should have no problem on the street with cut fenders, and I would also trim your rear pinch seam (takes 3 minutes max). I know a guy who ran 37's with no lift for a few days.

Just need to take a sawzall or cut off wheel and cut about an inch or two of the corner in front of the rear tires, then hit the edge with spray paint and you're done PS, you won't be able to really wheel or flex much until you get a little lift on there, but streetwise you'll be fine.

Hard to say if it's worth it, you haven't mentioned condition of tires/wheels or the asking price.

This is true. Another thing to think about is, it might be a good deal now, but are you gonna want to fork out the cash for 35's on 18's when these wear out. Tires are a bit more for 18" wheels than 16 or 17's, and almost double what 15's cost

Sounds like a good deal to me. I'm not huge fan of 18's but that's just personal preference. Rubi take offs go for more than $700 tho, so definitely a good deal!
