Default 35" tires

Will 35x13.50 (325 /70r17) work with 4" lift?

Are using stock rims? I am running aftermarket rims with 4.5" of BS and have 35 x 12.5 X 17 with a 3.5" lift with no rubbing. You might need stops if your backspacing isnt good

If those are stock 17" wheels, you'll need wheel spacers to compensate for the backspacing. If those are 17" wheels with around 4.5" backspacing or better, it should work.

You should be fine with those wheels. Height will be no problem either.

I think it depends on what brand of 4" lift you are running and whether or not it is a true 4" lift. There are manufacturers out there who sell 3.5" and even some 3" lifts that will clear a 35" tire running the correct backspacing. With a true 4" lift you shouldn't have any problems cleaning a 35" tire.

While we are on tires, a 35" tire can vary by more than 2" in true ride hight. Some brands are tall (run true to size) while others are not. So it is again possible that some tires will be ok, and others may even look small.

Im runnin 35s and 4.5in bs on 2.5in right now. I had it at full flex the other day with no rubbing. I still have an 1.25bl to put on but im gonna wait till it warms up alittle before laying in the driveway anymore.lol 35s would be fine with a 4in. Personally I like 37s with a 4.
