Thanks for showing the spare tire. That was my main concern!

Absolutely! Lots of questions I’ve seen about whether the spare fits or not! No problem at all!

Solid vid. thanks this is exactly what I was looking for. I have the identical Jeep as your friends and am looking to up the tires first then then handle the Fox lift this coming spring/ summer as needed for off-road adventures. this fit the bill perfectly and well explained and records. Huge thanks for sharing!

If I get a Wrangler like I plan I think I'd add a leveling kit but that's it. Looks great on 35's without a huge expensive lift. Really like all I've heard about the BFG KO2 as well. Just the video I needed to see, thanks!

New 35s nice ,I see a lot of people getting those without lifts, what about regearing is it necessary to regear if everyday driver never off-road

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

No not needed at all with 35s. Have a gladiator Mojave and this JLUR with no regear and 35s and they both have seen barely any difference to the driving…I would say they drive better and smoother as well.

[@PeacemakerPL]

Well, my Jeep is 2021 JLUR European version with front fenders like Your (US) Sahara version (lower type). So, after watching tons of videos like Yours, I decide to pull the trigger and finally jump from 33'' 285/70/17 KM3 (wich are on my Jeep since last summer and replace previous 32'' 255/75/17 factory KM2) to 35'' 315/70/17 KM3. Becouse anybody said - its not rubbing... Well, suprise suprise ;) Its is rubbing on lower front control arms on full lock (both sides) and on right back inner plastic. Well.. besides that everything looks ok when you drive straight. On the left turn, this right back inner fender scrapping A LOT. Even when i'm riding alone. Any passenger in the car, it rubbing on every bump, even on straight. So, i invest and bought Teraflex 1.5'' Sport Leveling Kit with extended bump stops. But i think it will not prevent those rubbs. So, it looks like Jeep doesn't said all true about 35 tyres on stock Rubicon. I'm am pretty dissaponted, becouse i really don't wanna go to the rabbit hole and start modify another suspension parts. I decide to back to the 33'' tyres. Jeep looks in this configuration for most balanced in my opinion. Best regards! edit: I'm using stock rims becouse i like them, I'm don't want to use spacers on wheels.

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

WOW dude!! So sorry you went through that! I should specify in my video that this is for US version rubicons. I did some research and found the issue…the EU and US version both have the same axles but the US gets the wider versions. No wonder ours don’t rub the control arms and your does. See below from a forum I found. Cheers!! “One difference that wasn't mentioned here is about the axles themselves on the Rubicon models. Yes they are the same US & EU spec, but the US gets the "Wide" version of them. US Spec: Dana M210 Front Axle - Wide Dana M220 Rear Axle - Wide EU Spec: Dana M210 Front Axle Dana M220 Rear Axle This info was pulled from my build sheet (EU Spec / Middle East Spec ) and my friends US-Spec both are JLUR. Note: This does not Affect the type of lift kit you want to install. all lifts can fit on both versions, i asked multiple lift manufacturers "Teraflex & AEV" Coilover kits that require custom brackets on the axle could not confirm if they fit on EU Spec Non-wide Axles.”

[@PeacemakerPL]

@@rockquestoff-road2839 thank you for your detailed answer. I spoke with my dealer. If they cannot figure it out on wednesday, i make switch back and i will sold 35's :) yea, thej also didn't know that is any diffrence besides fenders ;) Best regards from Poland.

Thank you... exactly the information I was looking for!

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Awesome!! So glad!

[@mikesters3532]

Great information and the video evidence is fantastic. I would assume a tire closer to 34" would be just fine on the stock suspension with no added bump stops. Thanks for this!

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Yes like a 295/70/17 would fit perfect! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@jamespeters3907]

Maybe 1 inch longer bumpstops and 1 inch coil spacers would work good. 🤔 It could give it back some fender room. Especially with some wieght on it.

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Exactly my brother is looking at the Teraflex 3/4 inch spacer lift for the little bit of room needed

[@LGoody9273]

Stupid question but I assume that is with the sway bar dissconected. My JLUR is ordered and I need to consume as many Wrangler videos as possible to pass the time.

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Yes definitely had everything disconnected for maximum wheel travel to check the fitment of the tires👍🏻

[@pinedac2001]

Awesome video! I read somewhere that a JLRR the second R is for the recon edition sits slightly higher (. 5")than a regular rubicon. I just got my 2020 JLRR in sting gray. It's all color matched and I love it. The 33's look ok but I like how 35's fill the wheel well out.

@@rockquestoff-road2839 they do its in my garage..... But I have to take it in tomorrow morning. When I shift into reverse I'm hard shifting. You'll hear a clunk. It just started doing it. I have 275 miles on it so hopefully it's a simple fix like low fluid or an update or something. Other than that I love the jeep!

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

So cool man!! Yeah mine has 13K on it and if I start it and flip to Reverse super fast it clunks as well...if I wait a sec it doesn’t as much but always does to a certain degree...hope yours is normal and there are no issues!!

[@pinedac2001]

I agree I hope it's a quick fix! I can handle a little clunk but this surprised me. Even with it being new my guess is that the fluid might be low. Once the jeeps been parked a few hours you can't feel it at all.. Either way I'll get it figured out and I'll keep putting miles on it. I definitely love driving it. Haha but boy do they like to wonder on the highway haha

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Haha yeah they do! My 2009 expedition is a lot more aerodynamic and is one finger driving at 75...the JL getting pushed and pulled by the wind a LOT but it way better than a JK....also something that helped mine track a LOT better was adjustable lower control arms...would you believe Jeep uses the same lower control arm length on the Sport and Rubicon even though the rubicon sits 1 inch higher...the Sports have a Castor of around 5.5 and track well on the highway....the rubicons stock have a castor of around 4.5 which is really anemic and adds a wandering looseness to the steering feel and some steering wheel shimmy on alligator bumps and potholes once you have a few thousand miles on it....when I got my adjustable lowers put on and the castor dialed to around 6.5-7 degrees was the sweet spot and all my steering wheel feedback is gone and it tracks with my hands off the wheel straight as an arrow as long as there is no wind 👍🏻

[@ecopco]

Loved the video! I also have a 19 JLUR same color and I don’t want to lift it. It was like you put the tires on my Jeep and previewed it for me! So 305/70/17 and 315/70/17 BFG KO2’s are essentially the same height?

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

It’s close!! The 305s are about .5 to .6 inches shorter than the shortest 315 fyi!! So glad you enjoyed the vid and it helped out!!! My brother LOVES his granite color too!!!

[@TigerNgtMare]

Great video! One of the best on KZbin, right to the point. I am wondering what kind of under fenders you recommend.

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

So glad you enjoyed it! So much clickbait out there it’s hard to find real footage or pictures of what you want to see...as far as fenders go I have heard great things about motobilts and artecs but I have no experience installing any yet so do some forum hunting on rust and install fit etc! Thanks!!

[@Jbarb777]

Great video - thank you - I need new tires for my JLUR soon and wanted to see if 315/70s (BFG KO2s) on stock rims would work. Looks like it will be fine. Plus these KO2s are more like “34.5s” than “35s”.

I believe you can add a 2" lift without affecting the warranty.

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Absolutely! My brother just likes all the geometry stock and is cautious on stuff like that...Jeep covers every unmodified part on your Jeep so if you put a lift on it they will cover everything that is still using stock parts which is awesome!

[@alexgonzalezMI]

I know this is an older video, but my wife has a 2020 JL rubicon that needs tires and I was thinking of putting 35's on it. Any long term issues with it? I also need new tires on my Raptor so I was going to put 35's on the jeep and then if it didn't work well, I'd just put them on my truck and put the 33's back on. We don't wheel the rubicon, not even Holly Oaks or anything. I just don't want to prematurely damage anything else.

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Zero long-term issues with 35s… Brakes tie, rods ball joints steering everything has been normal for the last 50+ thousand miles…

[@michaelsyoutubechannel5857]

Great no-nonsense informative video. So bottom line, it sounds like 35 inch KO2 tires and 1/2 inch bump stocks with no lift is a workable option for a stock JL Rubicon?

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Exactly...that’s what my brother runs 24/7 to work and wheeling on weekends...drives like stock but off road it’s such a big difference not scraping over nearly as many obstacles

[@leftystrat62]

Very informative and right to the point. I'm wanting to buy a 2 dr JLR and do the same to keep it as close to stock and wondered about some sag after adding steel bumpers and winch. Hopefully an added height in the bump stop will do the trick as you mentioned. cheers

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Thank you very much!! Sorry I missed this comment! Yes my brother added a slight 3/4 inch bumpstop before our last off-road trip and it worked perfectly...it was a night and day difference from the 33s...he hardly ever scraped his skid plates all day!

[@davetha]

Thanks for the video. Great information. Without any wheel spacers, has the owner had any issues with the inner fender liner rubbing the tire at all? I noticed on the stock tires there isn't a ton of clearance between the tire and the inner fender.

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

No inner fender rubbing...it seems close but surprised me how well it fit 👌🏻

[@cippo1]

35 inches tires and 2.5 inches higher. What is about extreme off road? With the axle lock... do i need more space. 😳

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

No 2.5 inch lift will actually fit 37 inch tires with no rubbing! Extreme off-roading and lifting tires in the air has plenty of clearance! 👍🏻

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

So glad man!!!! Balance the tires with regular weights at a normal tire shop. You may have to go to a local shop if Discount won’t do it. If you don’t say anything about the wheels than they probably won’t say anything. We have a JT and 3 JLs on 12.5 wide 35s and 37s on stock wheels and they all balanced perfect. Beads have several issues that make them not as good for a daily driver as regular weights. Hope this helps!

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

No death wobble and more stable and rides better because more soft rubber! Yes stock rims!

[@JimmyDevere]

I have a choice either a 2.5" lift or these BFG 315s. Which do you think performs better off road, the lift or tires? And which is better (or worse) for fuel economy? Thanks.

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Tires definitely…lift hits your mileage way worse because the axles and other stuff gets exposed to wind underneath more and creates more drag. My brother has not really noticed a difference in mileage…maybe 5% with 315s on stock suspension

[@goinlogue]

So one question, as I am planning to do the 315-70's on my stock Rubicon... When you fully flex like you did in the video AND steer... what is the rubbing like up front? Less concerned about the wheel well itself and more curious about the grill... ?

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

It doesn’t touch the grill which is really nice. Only touches wheel well

[@tylergray2906]

Noticed you mentioned arkansas with the badge of honor. Were you able to run the rubicon ridge stock?

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Oh yes. Pretty easy with a stock Rubicon…the only pucker factor is the steepness of the first descent but stock jeeps have no issue on this one👍🏻

[@jaylensmiley1]

Hello I have a question about when you had it flexed did you happen to use the sway bar disconnect?

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Yes we did!! We wanted to fully stretch it out to get real world clearance for people who really use their Jeeps to their potential!

[@bigbuckeye76]

Just got our first jeep…a 21 Rubicon. Just trying to clarify, are those the stock wheels? 17”?

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

[@mark.9999]

Would you suggest 2" spacers? Nice vid

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

So sorry I missed this comment!! I would just buy a 3/4 inch bumpstop spacer set myself and that would prevent rubbing but if you really want to lift it some I would suggest 1.5 inch spacers or 1 inch poly spacers for 315s...I personally run a 2 inch pro comp spacer lift with 37/12.5s on stock wheels with the shock extensions and bumptop spacers with no rubbing...315s look a little bit small with a 2 inch lift on a rubicon

[@gianfranconicolicchia4687]

@@rockquestoff-road2839 Great video man! Just curious which way you ended up going with the bump stop extensions? I’m considering a 0.5” set up for my JLUR as I want to keep as much of the factory articulation on the car as possible (I don’t have an aftermarket front bumper or winch on mine), but I also want to avoid damaging the fenders. Would love to hear your thoughts

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

We ended up doing .5 inch bumpstop extensions and it’s perfect! No rubbing and it doesn’t ride any different around town...we wanted to not limit the flex too much either so I think you would be happy with it! Thanks for the comment man

[@LiFeSGood841]

Is the tire 35x12.5x 17 on a factory wheels? Thanks!

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

315/70/R17 on stock wheels

[@EmiratiAuto]

That with stock wheels but what about if with a little wide wheels like 17x9 or 17x10 with the same tires ?

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

If the offset is more positive like a 4.5 or 3.5 offset it will hit the back of the fenders badly and the front bumper because would that would be increasing the steering “arc” of the front tires.

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

If you get wider 17x10 or 17x9 wheels with a sim Iliad offset to the factory wheels then you will have no issues it will fit the same as the stock wheels! Hope this helps!

[@sammcclendon2607]

Unfortunately no the Willys does not have the larger fenders to let this work...a cheap 2 inch spacer kit could get you the room though!

did you need to do a tire recal for the speedo? i have the 2.5 lift and looking at up sizing tire in spring . 35 or 37 just don't want to get into buying programmers and spare tire reinforcement brackets what have you found best ?

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

I think sticking with 35s will be best for you with warranty and no programmers or spare tire hinge reinforcement needed.....if you go 37 you will need a speedo programmer to get the MPH to read correctly and to set the traction control and stability control correctly for safety...and with 37 you will need tailgate reinforcement to not damage the tailgate over the years

[@bansheezs]

Did you have sway bar disconnected? Did you try turning the wheel to see if it rubs after it is turned?

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Yes sway bar disconnected! The steering radius when turning actually pulls the tire inside the fender more with more room so I set the wheels straight so you could see it at it’s closest to the inner fender!

Will that rubbing in the rear cause any damage? Or would it just show rub marks.

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

If you flexed slowly into that position it would just leave rub marks. My concern with this much contact is if you were aggressively attacking an obstacle and it flexed quickly it could make more contact and possibly tear out the inner fender well. Don’t want any accidents happening…would definitely recommend some small bumpstops at the least 👍🏻👍🏻

I use it as my family car and I go off-roading not more than 10 times a year for dune bashing not rocks crawling. Also when I go for dune bashing I deflate tire pressure to 10-15 psi. Do you think it will be ok to do that without a lift? The lift kit at the dealership costs around 4000 usd. Appreciate your quick reply

Absolutely I would just buy the tires and then also purchase some .5 inch bumpstop extensions like these www.extremeterrain.com/teraflex-bump-stop-strike-pad-shim-kit-2018-jeep-jl.html and it will work perfectly and not affect any warranty on your Jeep...also for your information you can install and lift kit or tires or even axles and Jeep will still cover your warranty on the entire Jeep....the only thing that Jeep will not cover are the actual parts you installed...so if you installed new shocks and coil springs Jeep will not cover those specific aftermarket parts with your warranty anymore but will still cover the whole rest of your Jeep 👍🏻if you ever have any dealer trouble just contact JeepCares and they will straighten them out..Jeep wants you to modify their vehicles!!

I think the dealership won’t accept to place a bumpstop extension as they are looking for anything to cancel the warranty. Do you think is it on to go with 315/70/17 tires without any modifications, but I will ask them to reprogram it with 35” tires

[@hatemmashaqi8607]

Thank you buddy.

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Yes they will be fine since you don’t crawl it! My brothers works great without extensions for 99% of our wheeling

I have a stock 2018 JLUR and am considering the 315/70/r17 KO2's as well. I wanted to avoid the bump stops to prevent losing suspension travel. Do you think that to avoid rubbing i could replace the stock fender liners with some aftermarket inner fenders? There's many out there that look like they would provide substantially more clearance. Thoughts?

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Absolutely! That is the alternative to bumpstops if you don’t mind a little work to get the fenders in! 35s would definitely easily fit at full flex with aftermarket inner fenders. Great point I’ll talk to my brother about this because it would be nice to not lose any suspension travel at all

Question, I want to make sure these 315's were put on the stock wheels,, correct?

[@St.PierreProductions]

I keep being told that the tire doesn't fit on the stock wheel. Not sure if they're trying to get more money out of me or what, but I want 35s.

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Discount tire and other corporate tire chains will not install 315’s on the stock wheels because they say they are too narrow for 315 wheel… But they are wrong and being overly careful because of their lawyers… 315s go on the stock wheels perfectly...Find a local tire shop and they will do it no problem

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

They work even better on the stock wheels because they have the perfect backspacing to keep the jeep turning and driving like stock with no more wandering caused by wider offset aftermarket wheels...

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

You are also less likely to lose the bead on a tire off road because the wheels are slightly narrower than most another bonus...don’t listen to whoever is telling you that...they obviously have no personal experience and are just reading tire and wheel specs

[@St.PierreProductions]

@@rockquestoff-road2839 that's what I kind of figured. But since I kept getting that answer over and over again,, I didn't want to risk anything. I appreciate you, and will take your advice!

[@exoplanetnomad]

315/70/17 aren't true 35! They're more like 34 inch for the BF Goodrich and 34.4 inches for Nittos.

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Correct the BFGs are 34.4 and .3 inches smaller than most average 35s! But still a “35” for most people!

[@freedomrider266]

Your vehicle is a JLU, not a JL....

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Correct!!!

[@jefmitchell7868]

JLR not a JL.

[@rockquestoff-road2839]

Well to be specific JLUR but they are all in the JL family so no worries😉
