Default 35s on X???

I just recently got my teraflex 2.5 budget boost installed on my 2 dr x and have ordered 35x12.50x18 Nitto Mud Grapplers. I have been hearing different stories with 35s and was wondering if i could get a better answer.

With the 35s and stock sahara rims, is there a need for wheel spacers?
Is there a problem with running these on a stock X axle?

Thanks for your input.

I have 35's on my 2.5 boost. you'll need not more than 4.5 BS. check BS on those Saharas. Probably will need a spacer

A lot of people run 35s on X's. I will be going that route later on...

My superchips comes this Monday.

After that, saving up for a body lift with 35s, then I will go gussets and gears much later on down the road.

get a set of spidertrax 1.5" wheel spacers and you will also have to trim your air dam a little bit do you offroad it alot and disco your front? if so you will prob have to chop your fenders i was rubbing mine pretty good

I have an X too with the 2.5 BB and 33's. Ordered 35's mickey thompson ATZ. You will defenitly need some wheel spacers, my actual 33's are 11.5 wide and rub badely at full turn so you will rub for sure with the 12.5
The front D30 should be fine as long as you don't install any locker up front and wheel it carefully.

One other thing, will the 35" spare fit on the stock carrier?

I already took my air dam off so that shouldnt be a problem. I do offroad a good bit but nothing too serious, i am planning on doing the quick disco's in the future with flat fenders.

Thanks to all for the response.

it will fit on your carrier i had to space mine out a bit with washers lol i know ghetto but it will fit without doing that, i have a cb antenna mounted on the carrier so thats why i had to do that. just know its alot of weight on the tailgate and the carrier. this is only a temporary solution until your able to get a new rear bumper and tire carrier. mine already kinda squeaks abit, i just try not and open it as much.
