You will need 1.5" spacers to get 35x12.5 to fit on stock rims. Most tire shops I know off will not deal with the spacer part but they will mount the tires for you.

Yeah I'm probably gonna order the spidertrax soon. I didn't know they wouldn't give me problems about mounting though? A lot of people here say that due to the manufacturer recommended wheel sizes, a lot of shops won't do things like that.

I've been running 35s on stock gearing close to a year and a half now it's not too bad even with the 3.8 lol I get around 16-17 mpg driving "normal" superchips helps out a lot with the auto trans shift points you'll be fine on stock gears

Good to know. Mpg/trans durability/gears were my biggest. Questions, so thanks.

If you were closer I would sell you my old 35s on Rims and spacers. I have 5 - 35x12.5x17 mtr kevlars 85% on ultra crusher rims and 5 - 35x12.5x17 mtr kevlars 40% tread on stock 2012 JKU rims. All sitting in my garage...

Out of curiosity, how much would you want for the tires with 85% tread and the spacers? And what brand are the spacers?

I will pm you.

17mpg!? What are you driving? A hybrid? Bahahaha just kidding. I have run 35s on stock setup (3.21 m/t). I'll regear eventually. But not this year.

How are the 35's with the 4.10 gears? Is it still sluggish?

I have them. They are good. Push the skinny pedal, you still take off pretty good.

It's sluggish going uphills but overall it ain't too bad

I have the 6 speed manual transmission, so I think I'll be ok if I move up to 35s.

Here's my 2010 JK with manaul, sitting on 35's stock suspension.

Still has pep. Ran this for 2 years. Just lifted it 3". Toying with 37's, at which point regearing is a must.
