Default 35's on stock 2012 Sahara Unlimited wheels

Forgive me for any dumb rookie questions. I was hoping to find out once and for all the acutal tire dimensions needed to put 35's on my stock 18" Sahara wheels. Will I need a 2.5" lift? spacers? will I have to trim fenders, air dam, etc? thanks in advance for your responses.

You'll definitely jeep spacers, as the stock rims have a poor backspacing. You'll need at least a 4.5. I have 33's and I needed to trim my air damn....and by trim I mean rip it off. I also didnt need to trim my fenders.....until I went off roading. So if you plan on doing any wheeling and you don't want to get a lift........you'll need to trim those fenders. But people have stuffed 35" tire on stock wheels with no lift in their jeep before. Its definitely doable
