I'd say you'll be fine. Go find something to flex-test it on with the swaybar disco'd and you'll find out.

Cool thanks for the quick reply. I was just worried there was gonna be rubbing issues. It's not like I'm going to be doing heavy Offroading until I fully get my lift this winter or spring

You'll be ok.

My 35's measure to 33.9, I put them on bone stock and drove around for a few weeks, they'd rub the flares, so I cut the flares.

Then when flexing pretty hard the'd come up and hit the pinch weld in the rear or the top side of the fender in the front, so I added a 1/34" 175 dollar daystar spacer, no more rubbing, and all this was with NO bumpstops.

One more thing, they'll be rubbing (at full steering lock) the plastic shield that hangs from the bumper...My 2C's, take it off and throw it away.

youll need some spidertrax spacers though. or your front tires will rub the frame.
^^In regards to this, and I forgot to ask, what wheels are they going on? a/m? your factory ones?

Either way, just get em, put em on and see what happens. Hell if they contact the rails just don't turn your wheel all the way until you get some spacers

With the flats and some spacers you should be good for normal driving
