Fitment by configuration
These are planning categories—not installation guarantees. The exact wheel and measured tire dimensions can move a build between outcomes.

Street clearance may be possible; compression is the concern.
Sport / Overland, 2 in. lift
Common documented target with appropriate wheels.
Rubicon / Mojave, stock
More factory room; confirm wheel backspacing and use case.
Rubicon / Mojave, 2 in. lift
Provides a strong articulation-oriented setup for 35s.
Likely contact points
- Fender liner at compression
- Control-arm clearance
- Sway-bar and chassis clearance
- Spare-tire location
Before you order
- Identify trim before comparing builds
- Match wheel backspacing to tire width
- Test disconnected/articulated clearance
- Verify spare-tire packaging
