Question quick check... 35s on stock for a month or so?

Can i fit the 35s (with my new 17x9 4.56bs wheels) on my stock 2dr sahara for a few weeks?

No offroading during that time.. just around town.. will not mount the rear tire either until the parts are in...

technically, yes you can mount 35's to a stock. BUT, go easy over speed bumps and humps in the road because you can count on some rubbing.

Why do 35's now w/out getting some sort of lift to give your tires and fender flares some space?

Be patient grasshopper... I know it is tempting but you will just risk hurting the jeep and possibly yourself. I would imagine on turns the tires would rub in the wheel well also.

If you go forward with this idea, not only are you are exposing your new shoes and
fender wells to damage, but you are exposing your JK with the "stuffed" look in public.

OK, we'll let you do it if you promise to keep it in the garage.

Freedom of choice. Choose wisely!
