Factory rubicon wheels with 35" tires
Using spacers, do 35" by 12.50 tires work with a 3.5" suspension lift? I have a silver rubicon and am so indecisive on rims and I like the factory ones. Would this look good or will the tires look too ballooned? Please help me!

It should work fine. Moochie on the forum is running a 3" TeraFlex Flex Arm kit with his Rubi wheels and 35" BFG KM2's and spacers. I'd pm him if you have questions. His looks great no ballooning at all.

There a lot of examples of 35's on stock wheels in the Show and Tell Section.
There are even numerous owners including me running 35x12'5 on 18s which is a tighter fit (less sidewall to flex). How balloned a tire looks is one good indicator that the rim is too narrow and as you can tell from the pics they look fine.

I've been running 35 km2's on stock rims for about 2 weeks now on my 2010 rubi I have spidertrax spacers & a TF 2.5 coil w/shocks I like it no issues here. I think it's more personal prefrance than a performance issue.
