Thanks for the pics and posts guys, helps a lot! I definitely don't like how tucked the wheels are on the Rubi. At least the TJ Rubi's had a wider stance, and the wheels looked nice on them. The JK Rubi just look like the Sahara's with bumpier tires :(
Is the loss of turning radius significant? I DO like the manoueverability of my Jeep. (I saw someone mention a 5" gain in stance, but aren't most spacers 1.5" each, not 2.5"?)

That was me who posted the 5" increase in track width. I had just posted to a TF coil thread and I had 2.5" on the brain or lack there of. 
Your track will increase 3" but it does make a difference.
Just a very simple of reference, when my JK was stock I used to easily make a U-turn on my street without second thoughts. With 35s and the spacers even if pull way over to the right, I can just barely make the same turn.
