Default 35" Tires On A Stock Rubicon For 2 Weeks.........Help, And Thank You.

On a stock Rubicon, 2013 2 door or JKU....
I need to run 35" BFG KM2's for temporary ( 1-2 weeks ).
They are on stock Rubicon wheels with 1.5" Spydertrax spacers.

Question:

What might or will rub on mello street driving for 1-2 weeks?

Thank you very very much.



More info.......This is the short version ........I need to remove the 2.5" Teraflex kit on it and will not have smaller tires for 1-2 weeks.
I'd really like to remove it tomorrow for a buddy that wants to buy it and install it tomorrow also.
That is why I was hoping to see if I can drive it on 35's for just 1-2 weeks. No other stock tires around for me to use.
At worst I leave everything alone for 2 more weeks. Thank you guys again for the advice.
Can I get away with it? Mello street driving only for 1-2 weeks?

As long as you don't flex it i don't think anything will rub since your running the spacers...

Why don't you just wait the two weeks? If you can't. . You will be ok just take it easy.

My stock coils for now. At worst I gotta make my buddy wait 2 weeks.......

Just trying to make it happen for him. I'm sure some one out here has tried this before, the 35's on a stock Rubi.

Thanks again for the idea's.

You might rub your plastic airdam at full lock... but it will likely do that even with the lift so you might need to remove it or hacksaw it off.

There was a thread about a year ago showing a dealership that was putting 35's on all their stock JK's so it should be okay on the street.

I ran my 35s with no lift for 3 days and no problem on the street I did have to remove the air dam and my wheels have a 4.5 backspacing. Had about an inch clearance at full lock and about 2 inches to the front bumper
