Default 35" tires

I am wondering if 35/12.50/r15 will fit with just flat fenders or if I need to add a suspension lift? I have a '10 2dr rubi

Will it fit? Yes. But if you plan on going off road you will want a lift as well. You will get a lot of opinions on how much. If it was mine, I would probably go 2.5". Welcome to the forum!

Big difference... Is the vehicle for only daily driving? Daily driving some trails here and there? or Lots of trails / rocks / mud?

Yes it will fit but have to be real careful. I had 35s on mine with no lift for about two weeks but hitting certain bumps or terrain certain ways came so close I just decided to do the lift and play it safe

You can do it with just flat fenders, but you will rub. It will work but Im sure you will get a lift later even if it a budget boost.

Thanks for all the advise. Yeah I plan in doing a long arm eventually but not for some bit. Just ordered the fenders today.

Welcome. If your not going to run it on trails too much till it's paid off I would consider 33s, should get you everywhere you want to go without worrying.
