At a glance

Fitment by configuration

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

Sport / Overland, stock

Conditional fit

Street clearance may be possible; compression is the concern.

Sport / Overland, 2 in. lift

Good fit target

Common documented target with appropriate wheels.

Rubicon / Mojave, stock

Good fit target

More factory room; confirm wheel backspacing and use case.

Rubicon / Mojave, 2 in. lift

Good fit target

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
