35's and No LIFT on my JL OFFROAD! Do they RUB!?

In todays video, I show you guys how my new tires handle offroad and see if the jeep is ok having bigger tires with no lift or different wheels with a different offset! I hope you guys enjoy and if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment down below!

Love the look of the jeep. I probably won't be going anywhere that tough so I appreciate the vid. Makes me feel better about possibly going bigger.

Thank you! Also watched the prior video you shot leading up to this one. New Jeep owner here. Purchased a brand new 2 door Willys last year and I'm still getting a rush each time I drive! I specifically chose the Willys due to the larger 32" stock tires with the 1" lift. A year has passed, and now I'm craving a slightly more aggressive look for her. Just wasn't sure if 35s were going to be too big, but after seeing your video it looks like the proportions are good! I also thought bigger tires meant adding an additional lift, but I can see now that it's unnecessary.... might even be a bit overkill. Wondering how your 35s effect your driving/handling and mileage?? She's my daily ride!

[@Themaxima8777]

Oh, 3M floor mats with the red 3M logo only comes for a four door Jeep but I just purchased them anyway for my two door but they look great..

[@ghernandez6457]

First thing I am doing with mine is adding 35s. I saved the spare BFG KO2s from when I got rolled over on my JK. The dealer said that adding 35s voids the warranty but I can always put the 33s back on 😂😂

Great vid, I am thinking of this on my 23 rubicon 4 door. Did it rub when full turn climbing a rock or obstacle. Also have you done any of this with some more weight? A passenger and possibly some gear? I think the extra pounds might get it to rub, but still this was impressive.

[@michaelgentile634]

Found your channel, doing some research on JL's do you prefer the 2- door I'am kinda leaning towards this style? Great content good information thanks

[@drivenmad2089]

Thanks for watching! And for me personally I like the 2 door better because off-road it’s got the best break over angle, is super easy to maneuver and since I don’t have kids the backseats are good for the occasional 3 or 4 person trip and then when I go on a long trip I can just remove them all together for more space. But if you have kids, the 4 door will be MUCH better day to day getting people in and out of the back. But if no for me and what I do it’s 2 door all the way 👍🏻

What PSI do you air down to? Wonder if an extra inch of wheel width helps on the no rubbing front? Was nice to see that min 2 finger fender spacing on your biggest flex test. It’s amazing what a 2Dr Rubi can climb almost effortlessly!

[@drivenmad2089]

Yep ran the stock tire Carrier even after adding new wheels. Upgraded to the mopar hinge carrier and I’d go with the full Teraflex kit or just leave it stock if you’re just gonna run 35’s. If you plan on running 37’s or larger then teraflex is the way to go! Thanks for watching!

[@deanf5524]

You can get away with it but depends on speed and it's very close. 2 in lift is advised. It helps the appearance too. Thanks

[@Ownuout]

Wow, you a brave man! Did you use offset/wheel spacers? I needed this video for confirmation for my own build. Probably not as good on the sport S but I'm still doing 35's now no lift at first! Thanks!

[@drivenmad2089]

No spacers were added. However since you said you have a sport, the only reason 35’s fit with no lift is because the rubicon trim has the high line fenders. So you’ll probably run into to some rubbing eight the regular sport fenders.

[@Ownuout]

@@drivenmad2089 Thanks for the reply, I have seen Extreme Terrain videos with 35's on no-lift Sport/Sport S with no rub as long as you use a 17x9 with good offset and backspacing and remove the front bumper wind guard. I've even seen it on a Willys. Now, the Willy's does have Rubi-ish suspension setup, but the fenders are not higher. I'll triple triple check before I pull the trigger, but I think it just may work. If not, I can go 305/70R 17's (34.4") or probably be happy with 117T rated 285/70R 17s 33" ATs, It's a daily driver. Thanks for reply! Keep up the videos, they help a lot!

[@TheScoobysnack08]

Not bad! Did you air down? Do you plan to lift still? Do you regret not getting the 4 door and why or why not? 👍🏻😎

[@drivenmad2089]

Yep I aired down to about 15 PSI and I do actually have plans to do a lift pretty soon! And I’m super happy with the 2 door. I don’t have kids or dogs so the 2 door is perfect for me. I can take 2-3 people on a short off-road trip or take the rear seats out and have plenty of space for a multi day trip 👍🏻 Thanks for watching!

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is the king when it comes to off-roading.

Very true! Stock for stock, from the factory, nothing can touch a wranglers capability! Thanks for watching!

[@teers6258]

Just purchased my 2dr Rubicon yesterday. So far, I am loving it but I think I want to go with 35's. However, looking at your vids, your's looked like it sat higher stock than mine does... How much space do you have between your tire and fender with your current 35's?

[@drivenmad2089]

Shouldn’t be any higher and unfortunately I can’t tell you anymore since it’s now Got a 2inch lift on it that I put in it before I went to Moab. Thanks for watching!

[@tacopanda9550]

Great video and I love these because I just ordered a 2-dr rubicon stick shift and it's my first jeep. I want to ease into the mods and I'm looking at the same 35" K02s but on rims that will stick out 2 more inches. Does the outer edge of the fender flare sort of curve down over your tire and do you think I might hit the edge of it? Could basically lose an inch of clearance that way? Looking at 3:49 which looks like the closest.

[@drivenmad2089]

Thanks for watching! And the outer part of the fender does flare down a little bit nothing drastic but it does for sure. If you’re going to do a drastic change on the wheels to where they stick out a lot more then you might run into an issue. If they’re not too crazy I think you’ll be fine 👍🏻.

[@NoGasWelcomeAboard]

@TP - Just got my ‘21 Rubi with 35’s. 1) Coordinate with your sales manager PRIOR to delivery and they might swap the 33” BFG’s for a tire of your choice at just the difference in price between the two. Otherwise you’ll take a $$ hit on the exchange due to having “used” tires, even if they only have 10 miles of driving from the dealer to the tire shop. 2) Watch for a sale on new wheels of your choice. I picked up some sweet ICON Rebound 17x8.5’s a couple weeks ago @ 4WheelParts for full $229 ea price, then took advantage of their 30-day competitor Price Match policy when they went on-sale elsewhere for 20% off over Black Friday. The ICON ‘s one inch wider 4.5/-6 stance is maybe 1” wider than stock & that’s a perfect compromise for my 35” Nitto tires (imo). 3) @tiresize.com has an awesome Wheel Offset Visualizer/Calculator that allows you to compare your old tire/wheel combo to a new one and “see” how they will look. THAT was invaluable to give confidence I’d be getting the look I was after. Now with Dakota’s excellent video and until I can test myself, I’m 95% certain my combo won’t rub as well. 4):Lift? Maybe a small one down the road. But for now, I like the “hunkered down” puppy with big paws look!

[@dennisj3879]

Just found your video - thanks, it helped me finally make a decision between the 2 KO2 35's... The winner for me is KO2 315/70R17 (not the 35x12.5) for exactly the reason you mention above... I also wanted the C load rating, not E - I have the JLUR (granite too, w/manual) and may or may not go for the lift in the future, but wanted a little more in the clearance and looks department. From what I have learned some 35x12.5 will rub a little on the liner if you really stuff it, the 315/70R17 KO2's give you 1/2" less diameter and a little less width which seems to be all the margin you need to fully clear in almost all circumstances. I'm waiting on a new set of wheels to be delivered and we'll see in the next few weeks how it goes.

Now, as I mentioned above, it's not the size of the tire that matters as much as the weight of the assembly. A heavy beadlock wheel with a mud terrain tire driving down a washboard road daily might be a different story. My comments are based on my own experience but a few other online examples are these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGecnmttYr2bbLc and kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJOwZJaEhaeBecU

What size of tires on 18” wheels?

[@CoreyBrass]

Those are a 17 inch rim. Those should be 35/12.5/r17.

[@leslisanjose5102]

Does it rub when the wheels are turned?

[@drivenmad2089]

Nope! no rubbing at all in any scenario so far! 😎 Thanks for watching!

35's what width?

Hi Eric 👋

Is that the OEM front bumper?

[@drivenmad2089]

Yep. It’s the OEM steel bumper in the stubby configuration

KO2s are fine for the dry stuff or a little mud but are not a serious tire for real mud , Mickey Thompson Baja Boss is a better , longer lasting tire .

35X11.5 or 12.5?

[@drivenmad2089]

12.5. Technically it’s a 315/70R17. So it’s a 34.6 inch tire and 12.4 inches wide. Thanks for watching!

Awesome, thank you

So the video is Fake!! 35 is 35 not 341/2 . You really need to keep the facts as facts when you are putting out information.

These vids only serve to confuse new JEEP owners. 35's scrub on stk. Period. Every one of these guys ends up installing a lift before next vid. Full stop.

[@drivenmad2089]

Except on rubicons they don’t…. I’ve done this on both my 2 door and my 392 and never had any issues when off-roading or daily driving. If you try to do that on a sport or Sahara then yeah you’re gonna run into problems.

[@BalthazarMyrrh70]

@@drivenmad2089 i thought you admitted a scrub on the video. 😂 & you said in the comments you added a lift shortly after. So yes, they'll roll but they'll scrub & it's too much tire without extra lift. Take into account mud &/or snow/ice buildup and that 2" space is inadequate. No one will be satisfied doing this without an evental lift, is all I'm saying. To the guys who just want a bit more tire, stick to an aggressive 33. I don't mean to insult your video. Just trying to clear up my own confusion when I was researching tire sizes & kept seeing these 35 vids where everything is kosher but in reality it is not.

[@SynysterGoose]

It's a Rubicon. Everyone knows your can run 35s with no lift with the higher Flares.

I was enjoying your video but you lost me at 5:40 with the stupid camera angle where you tried to fake the hill angle. Can't trust someone to be honest when they can't even shoot honestly.

That wasn’t a fake camera angle. I literally just set it down on a the tripod. haha 😂

Pandemic, political unrest, failing economy, record unemployment, and you are upset because you think someone faked a video angle in a Jeep video? I am just glad that there is one more Jeep video out there like this for me to watch instead of all of the Minecraft videos my kids keep loading up my history feed with. :)
