Is that all you needed to fit them under. Did you regear? If you didn't how does it drive?

I have 35" KM2's running on 15" MB Razor rims from discount tire. They fit without grinding, but you need to watch where the wheel weights put.

The Jeep drives fine, but you can really notice the 35's with the stock rubi gears. Its not really noticeable in traffic, but on any highway grade or in the wind, you might need to take it out of overdrive.

Yes, they run small, about 33.5 to 34 I have rubi rails that I had to cut about 1/2 inch at back wheels. No rubbing on fenders but the tires did contact metal support in front bumper so I just cut off lower edge of it I'm pretty sure my wheels are cragar v5 searched them out and found what I thought was a great price 42.00 a wheel shipped and got my km2 through a friend for 200 a wheel mounted and balanced. Pm me if you want some pictures of what I did and I'll check on the wheels to make sure think they were 3.75 backspacing. Didn't regear as I had 4.10 in sahara I just added a superchips to program for tires and I run the 93 tune. Goes great around town. Ok on highway until a hill, I just shut off OD and it get up hill, then just turn back on

quick edit, i did grind back of wheel ever so slightly on the area where wheel was stamped out, back edge stuck back and every so slightly touched caliper

15's w/35's are great, I had to grind only on the front and with 4"bs they stick out which can be a problem depending on your local laws
