Default Leveling Kit and 35s

I need new tires asap, but am still deciding on a lift and whether to install myself or find a shop.
I can't seem to find any definitive answer: Can I run some new BF Goodrich AT KO2 35's (315/75/16) on my JKU which has a Teraflex leveling kit for now, until I get the 2.5" lift on? It currently has 33" BFGs on Pro Comp wheels with plenty of backspace I think. Thanks for any thoughts.

You're gonna bust your stock fenders off if you wheel it, that's what happened to me then I purchased some flat ones. If you stay on the street you should be able to get away with it for a while until you can put the lift on.

I did it for a few months. For whatever reason I never had any issues unless I was backing up to the right. The left front inside of tire would rub the air dam below the bumper on the drivers side. As long as you aren't crawling over a huge ledge or rock with the sway bar disconected you shouldn't rub at all.
