Default Goodyear MTR Kevlar 35x12.50 17

Ok, so reading about different tires on this forum has made me conclude I want the Goodyear MTR Kevlar in 35x12.50 17 on my stock rims. I really like them (rims) and am not at a place where I care to change out rims anyway...got other plans for my money!

Anyway, I have a 4" lift with 1.5" Spidertrax spacers...will these fit my rig? I am ordering them online and want to make sure! I know there will be a power loss...don't care...never bought this Jeep for speed anyway! Really excited, but need to make sure before I pull the trigger....thanks to all who answer!

You should be fine, and the tires... Amazing, I absolutely love them... Also the 17 inch rim is the closest to true 35". The 16 and 15" are a but smaller. Only a bit tho...

Ordered them today from Direct Tire Discounters...Wyatt was awesome with the order and said I will have them by Thursday. Not only were they the best price anywhere, they were also some of the only people to be able to get them anywhere! I can't wait! Thanks for the responses...I will post up pics!

How much did you get them for if you don't mind me asking?

Will you be able to take the wheels & tires down to a tire shop to have the tires mounted? Most shops will not mount tires & wheels on a vehicle with spacers. They do not want any liability, perceived or actual, due to spacers.

While I really like mine, inspect these tires well. I bought 4 originally and when I had enough I picked up my spare and got this (Brand new, 0 miles):

I got the Goodyear MTR Kevlara on Dick Cepek DC2s and thet are amazing looking. I consider it a well spent $3k (5x wheels and tires).
