I currently have a 2011 2 door sahara and I'm looking into getting a lift, tires, and wheels. As I'm a teenager, the money would be coming out of my dad's pocket so if its possible I'd like the get
the wheels and tires now, and wait until summer for the lift. would putting 35s on w/o a lift cause any rubbing? If so, where? And how can I fix it?

 

Man, I wish my old man would buy me mods

Anyway, If I am not mistaken, without any lifts, leveling kits, etc. I think the highest you can go is 33's? Someone please correct me if I am mistaken.

 

You can do it with flat fenders. Cutting your stock ones is free. Depending on back spacing of wheels you may need spacers. And you won't have much articulation offroad but you can.

 

Get a job and buy a lift if your dad's getting the tires. A budget boost would be a good start.
You'll rub otherwise.

 

To run 35s with peace of mind you are going to need at least a budget boost, and to be super safe minor fender trimming/clearancing.

More than that drive ability becomes a factor. At 35s regearing starts getting discussed. You also start paying way more attention to your axle C's and may consider gusseting them. D30/D44 does not matter as the differential C's are the same. Have a tuner/programmer in mind as you will want to calibrate your Jeep for the increased tire size.

Most minor (although not all budget boosts) require wheel spacers so have them in your budget as well. Hope I didn't rain on your parade too much, just helping you plan this right and do it safely.

 

I have sleeves, guessets, and 5.13 regearing. I could buy Bushwacker flats and spacers if those are needed also.

 

[SUP][/SUP]Then you are off to a great start!

 

When you get older just remember everything your dad does for you! My parents took good care of me (but not getting me a jeep good!) and now i'm pretty successful and give them a credit card to use ad lib and have even given them a new vehicle, trip throu the panama canal, etc

 

What would I rub? And would Flat fenders from bushwacker, a stubby bumper, and wheel spacers help?

 

Without a lift, the rear 35" tires will rub on the frame or inner body if you carry passengers. You'll be fine if alone.
