Default 35x14.5x....Combo....

I have done several searches and got mixed results. First off, I dont do any rock crawling in my area (just in case the 8" vs 10" rim is gonna be debated ), but a lot of mud trails & sand (want the flotation effect of the 10" rim). I am planning on purchasing Super Swampers BOGGERS, but the only width available aside from a 10.5 & 16" is in a 35x14.50. I wanted to get input from you all if I will have any clearance / rubbing issues running that tire size in a 16x10 rim. Below are the detailed specs..Thanks..

Tires: 35x14.50x16

Wheels: 16x10
4.5" backspacing
-24mm offset

BTW. Currently have a 1" BL and will be purchasing a 3" coil lift kit (most likely TeraFlex) before I purchase the 35s...

Don'tknow about clearance issues, but those tires will kill you in the sand. They are wide but don't give any flotation. There's not enough HP in a JK for them and they really like to dig. Have no experience with them in the mud, not much mud here in the desert.
