So my tires are toast. Picking up a set of new 35's in the morning and they are going to be mounted on my stock tires. I know I will need front spacers but will I need the rears??? I plan to buy them eventually but the new tires are gonna break the bank. FYI I am running a 2 inch lift in the rear.

 

You probably don't need them I would think, but it's gonna look goofy having your rears tucked in further than the fronts.

 

yes you do need rear wheel spacers when mounting a 12.5" wide tire on a stock rim. The tire will be too close to the sway bar end link bolt without the proper backspacing.

 

Yes, you will need 1.25" or 1.5" spacers front and rear. In the rear you will not be able to mount 35s without spacers because you will hit the lower control arm. I used Spidertrax 1.5" black spacers front and rear for my factory Willys Wheeler Wheels and Goodyear Duratrac 315/70/R17. Do not buy cheap spacers make sure you buy quality and use the included Red Loctite. Also if you have Factory Mopar Rock Rails you will need to trim 1" off the end for clearance for the 35" rear tires.

 

Thanks for the info guys!

I went with 1.5" spidertrax all the way around. there was still a little rubbing when turned all the way on the lower air dam under the bumper. I just took it off for now.

 

sorry forgot the pic!

 

You will need rear spacers. I am just beginning my build, and some dude wanted to buy my Rubi wheels and tires. So I put on my 35s before my lift with flat fenders and sold my takeoffs. I rub occasionally in the rear when I hit a dip on streets. The lift goes on this week thankfully.
