Default Stock 17" Wheels
I'm looking to put 35x12.50 tires on my 17" stock wheels and i wanted to know if that was possible? and of course i know i would need a lift kit and possibly spacers so they don't rub.

Ya, if you do a little searching you'll find a few running factory wheels and 35s as long as you are running a lift and spacers.

Yup a 2.5" lift & wheel spacers should work perfectly w/the 35s

People do it all the time, even though the stockers are only 7.5" wide. Never really understood why Jeep went with that width, even the stock Moab wheels on the TJ Rubicons were 8" wide.

Mine fit on with no spacers at all. The rear doesn't rub at all but the front does when you make a full lock turn either direction. Its only temporary for me since I plan on new wheels soon.
