Default Rc 3.75" combo kit which rims on 35's.

I just finished installing the rc 3.75" lift on my 2010 jk. Rc recommends 35x12.5
My question is, what size rims would be needed so that it fits properly with no rubbing. I'm interested in 16" rims so I can deflate more with the additional sidewalk.
Any input would be appreciated.

Tom

Do 17s, better tire selection when you go bigger and just make sure you have at least 4.5 backspacing on the wheels to avoid rubbing.

i'd have to agree - 17" is really the better way to go and they will do just fine on the trail. if you're really determined to have more sidewall, i'd go 15"

If I use the original rims then I need to use spacers. I'm going to go with spidertrax 1.5" spacers. Will this be sufficient?
