Default Can I run 35s stock for a week

I can't wait!! I just got my wheels/tires and was wondering if I could bolt them on and run around town until I put my lift on next week

I asked the same q and got mixed replies a few months ago.
Try it and let me know
I’m gonna try it for sure when I get some rubber for my new wheels

No personal experience, but I've seen pics of it done along with claims from the owners that there was no rubbing etc. so long as they stayed on the road and didn't go over any speed bumps.

Edit - Yes, as Pluke mentioned, your wheels must have the proper backspacing whether through spacers or simply in themselves. I assumed that yours do. If they don't, even the lift won't fix that.

In my case
Aftermarket wheels with 4.75 backspacing and small 35s (duratraks)?

Ive done this. Yes is the answer, if you dont have passengers, dont load-up with gear, and stay on smooth roads.

I did it for two days. It went fine as I don't have an airdam. I did avoid big bumps
