Default 35's, stock wheels and no spacers?

I'm wondering if anyone has ran a 315/70/r75 (35) tire with stock wheels and no spacers? If you can point out a forum that discusses this that would be great too. My tires came in (very excited) and my spacers are not in yet and wanted to use the rig this weekend with the new tires (no offroading). Just wondering if I need to wait until next week.

Thanks

It's probably driveable, but I would expect a fair amount of tire rub, either on the lower control arms, fender wells, flares, etc. If you just have to have the tires on now and need to drive it that way, I'm sure you could, but I certainly wouldn't do it for long.

You can always adjust the steering stop screws to help correct any rub you get while turning, but in doing so, you will also reduce your turn radius.

Of course, I don't HAVE to install the tires tomorrow. But I'm like a kid in a candy store. The only problem is that I'm reusing the stock wheels, so once there switched I don't have an alternative to go back. Not sure if it matters, but I do have a teraflex leveling kit installed already.

I would wait for the spacers. I wouldn't use my 33x12.5 without the spacers. I run the rugged ridge 1.5 inch on mine. No rub on or offroad. No lift.

Definitely wait on the spacers. It will rub without them.
