According to the Mopar 2" lift kit installation instructions I can put 35/12.5R17's on the STOCK rims without changing the offset. If I go to a 13.5" tyre I can expect to see rubbing on the wheel arch, however I have the Xenon flare.

Does anyone have any experience with 35/12.5 tyres on the stock rims?

Oh, I have a 2" lift in as well.

dont see how that will work. Std Rims are +45mm Offset, i have +20mm with 315/70R17" and they just clear the Rear Upper Control Arms, Miss the SwayBar at full lock no worries too.

I could have got the same wheel but in a +40mm Offset and that would of interfered for sure. Blokes i know who got the +40mm Speedy wheel that i have but with a smaller 33" Tyres rub on the sway bar when turning.

I think in USA they fit Wheel spacers, big no no in Aus.

Yep, original 17" alloys with the Silent Armours, done just on 10,000km.Thinking I will ditch them for Pro Comp black steelies and fit 315/70/r17's, just searching for tyres now.Can't get BFG muddies in that size

If you want to go for BFG's you will have to go for the KM2 wich are an awesome tyre, they do a 35" x 12.5" R17, as close as you can get compared to the 315/70R17....
