Default Smittybilt src 3" tubular side steps

Hey I just bought and installed the src side steps, I noticed they're longer then the body and stick into the front wheel well a bit. I was wondering if I'd have any issues fitting 35" tires? Has anyone had the same issues?

I do not have these only the stock rubi rails, but I still had to trim them and also my pinch seems for my 35's. It was not absolutely necessary, but needed for flexing purposes while wheeling. I hope this helped...

I run the Smittybilt rails with 35" tires on my JKU with a 2.5" lift, and have not had any issues with them. I did trim the rear pinch seam, to be on the safe side.

Make sure you didn't accidently install them on the wrong side.
