Default Lift and tire question

Looking to add a Teraflex leveling kit on a 2012 JKU Sport. Want to keep the stock 17" wheels. Will 35" tires fit or will I need to stick with 33's? Don't want to run spacers, what width can be ran on the stock wheel? I believe the 17" wheel is 7.5" wide. Light to moderate off-roading, mostly around town driving. Recommendations???

You can get by with 35's with the leveling kit but won't really be able to wheel it unless you do fenders also

Agree with above -- Only way to keep the stock wheels is to use spacers. You'll be better off if you ditch the wheels and get something with 4.5" BS or less.
