Default Tire conversion

I plan on getting a lift and tires but keeping the stock rims I see a lot of other jeepers doing this now what size tire do I order to fit the rims? From my understanding I need 35x12.50x17 is that correct?

Anything that fits a 17" wheel will fit the stock 17" wheels.

If going over 33" tires, get a set of Wheel Spacers. Rough Country makes a great set, i got my 4 for $118 shipped to my door. Never loosened up. Nearly 30k miles on them with stock wheels.

If you have a factory wheel with 6" backspace you'll need atleast 1.5" spacers.
