Low COG fitting 35" tires
I have a JK unlimited Rubicon and it is time for new tires. I would really like to fit 35's as they would be a really good everyday tire.
I would like to keep the stock 17's but is seems as spacers might be required. I want to keep the COG as low as possible as a couple of people drive the Jeep and I would liek to keep it as streetable as posssible. It gets off road 3-4 times a year but has 5-10 miles of dirt raods daily.
Specs:
2010 JK Unlimited Rubicon
ARB Bull Bar front w/9.5ti
Pure Jeep Rear
Stock Fender Flares
What would be the best parts to get 35's to fit with stock 17's and as little lift as possible. I would really like to not lift it as this point.

If you want to fit 35's and no lift you need to cut your fenders or buy flat ones. It may run a bit but it will fit. Also w stock 17 in moabs Ull need 1.5 in spacers. That's about it if you don't lift it. It will run crappy but will run. Go with 33's

You could just get some bushwacker flat flares and the spidertrax spacers and run 35's with no lift. Most people go a minimum of 2 inches of lift/add a body lift with spacers when they get 35's from what I've seen.
I'm pretty sure i read there's a problems with shock travel and other suspension related stuff when you don't give enough clearance. But I'm sure you can alleviate that somehow. Maybe new shocks? I'm not entirely sure about all of that technical stuff though.
