Default Leveling kit and 35's???

I've got a 2011 Unlimited Rubicon. I just installed the new TeraFlex leveling kit and put on the Mamba wheels with 4.75 backspacing. Used the stock tires for now. looks really good......My questions is....can i use 35's with this setup? WIll I rub? Or does the backspacing get me enough clearance?

This is the same setup I plan on using for the suspension. I believe Teraflex says you can run a 34" tire. I have heard that many 35's will measure out to 34.something once mounted. I say go for it. Just take a look at pinch seams and trim or bend over with a hammer if necessary.

Nope. Not unless you go with flat fenders. If you stick with the factory fenders, you can go as large as a 34" tire, like BigJeschke said above.
