You can aloways run slightly narrower 35's on your stock wheels. There's nothing wrong with that. You can, if you look around, get a full set of take-offs from about 250. That is a HUGE difference from buying a new set of wheels and tires.

Yeah, I want 35" tires, but am not really a huge fan of custom wheels just for looks. If there is a functionality I am missing out on, then please someone let me know! I just want the added lift to get the diffs a bit higher and of course more surface area for the tires to grip! Of course, I am sure there is something I do not understand!

I've been running 35x12.50 mud grapplers on stock jk aluminum wheels for over a year now, with no probs. How much are you getting them for? Is it 4 wheels or all 5?

First of all I want to thank you guys for the info, it has helped out a lot. Where are you located for the rims and tires that you are offering ? I have had an offer for 5 wheels and tires that was less than that. I also am not going much higher than 34" tall tires.
