Well what "35's" do you have? Cause my 35" km2's barely measured 34" when brand new. The new 37" KO2's dont even measure 36" when mounted. Its a BFG thing...

 

A 285 75 r 17 nitto will give you a genuine 34" tire on stock rims.

 

Some Dick Cepeks that came on it. Tire rack states they are 34.7" tall. Just measured them on the truck (under compression) at 33.5" tall, so i guess thats not too bad. I like the less width more than the height

 

I scored a deal on a set and put them on my stock rims for a roadtrip and to hit Ouray Co trails. on road ride was great and for the mild Ouray stuff like blackbear and Imogene etc they were exceptional. for tougher trials like Poughkeepsie's wall I was wishing I had my 35's as they are too short and hit my cross member pretty hard. For the rest of Poughkeepsie they were fine as the wall was the only part that required the extra clearance. They would be awesome if they were an inch or so taller. I only got 4 so I used a km2 255/80-17 for a spare and they are nearly identical in size the km2 slightly taller and narrower but really close height wise when mounted. I measured both on the rims with 35psi but not on the jeep. here is a comparison with my toyo 35's.

 

Yep, my jkr came with 35 x 12.5 Dick Cepeks. the 35" height doesn't bother me, i'm not a fan of the 12.5" width. Doesn't track as well, floats on the road in the rain, etc.

 

Just threw a set on this morning and it netted 3/4 of an inch "lift" over my worn out stock Rubi km tires. Can't get over how smooth they are! Running stock Moab rims and no spacers and no rubbing on road. Still have to flex it up and see if anything rubs while flexed.
