Default Tire size and ckearance questions.

K, to start off I currently have a bone stock 07 sahara. I'm planning my list of upgrades including an eaton e locker for the rear. Front and rear bumepers, tube fenders from river raider, Mickey Thompson jk signature wheels, and general grabber tires....among other things. My questions is....I know going with the tube fenders is going to give me some extra clearance. But am I going to need wheels spacers or a lift...or both, and how much of either or both to be able to run the 35" general grabber tires? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Probably a wheel that is 4.5" backspaced or 1.5" spacers for stock wheels. 33's will fit no problem stock but IMO I would do at least a 2.5 BB to run 35's. RK makes a great 2.5" kit and if you ever go 3.5 you can just swap the coils. I run a clayton 4.5" and love it. If you plan on putting lockers on you should also re-gear at the same time just to save on labor.
