Default 35's ON STOCK 17 INCH RIMS

I see alot of Jeeps with 35x12.50 tires on stock rims. Is there any issues with this since the rim is only 7.5. Also I have a 3.5 inch lift and have Spidertrax spacer on the jeep now. It's a 2011 JKU Sport any rub issues.

Should be no problem just take or trim the front engine guard so you will have no rubing issues

Also look and see what the tire manufacturer recomends for wheel thickness (I forgot to put that in )

Even with the spacers I will have to trim that.

I have 35's, 2.5 inch lift and 1.25 spacers on the stock aluminum rims. No rub. I did have rub without the spacers though.

How much does it change things if one were to attempt to put a 35,12.5,17 on a stock Sahara with an AEV Savegre rim?
Spacers,lift,trimming. The fact that I would sacrifice some mpg,and some speed,(if I can use that word in reference to Jeep)
is a given, but I am more concerned about the extra weight and stress on things. I am looking at the General Grabber, and I
believe they are very heavy. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks
