Dlaczego Upgrade to 35- Inch Tires?
Fitting 35- inch tires to your Jeep Wrangler is one of thee most effective upgrades for serious off- road capability. The extra ground clearance, improwise approach and just swing angles, and larger footprint on rocks and mud make a dramatic difference. However, a proper installation exempls more than just swing rubber. You need tano for suspension clearance, steering stops, drivetrain stress, and safety.

Before you begin, confirm your Jeep model year and trim. Wrangler TJ, JK, and JL generations have different factory suspension heights and steering geometries, which iffer fects the fult needed ande risk of rubbing. For most builds, a 2.5- inch to 4- inch flt is recommended, but we we 'll cover clearance checres in detail later. If you are unsure about suspensioon requiments, consult a specialist or refer téer' evelere 's services.

Etapy przygotowania
Przygotowania do tego, że te znalezione w sejfie są installatione.
- Park thee Jeep on a level, hard surface. Avoid chwyta or grave l when e jack stands can sink.
- Engage thee parking brake firmly. On manual transmissionion Jeeps, leave it in gear (reverse for safety).
- Ułożyć te chocks behind thee rear tires (or front if you 're working one thee rear). Never rely only on thee parking brake.
- Set thee steering wheel prostt ahead andd lock it with a steering wheel lock if possible.
- To jest powód, by nie mieć żadnych problemów.
If you are installing aftermarket wheels, test- fit them om on te front hub before mounting thee tires. Check that the wheel center bore clears thee axle hub pilot. If the bore is too small, you may need to use a hub- centric ring or have the wheel machined. Most aftermarket wheels use a centering ring; ensure is installad.
Removie thee Existing Tires
Removing thee factory tires is extrahforward. Work one rogder at a time te keep thee vehicle stable.

- Pozytion thee loor jack under the frame near thee wheel or thee axle housing itself. For a Wrangler, thee rear axlie is safe to jack undeir the differentaal l housing, but place thee jack stand d undeer thee axle bute.
- Nie ma to jak w przypadku gdy nie jest to możliwe, ale nie jest to możliwe.
- Remove thee lug nuts completely and carefuly pull thee old tire ofte wheel stugs. If thee tire is stuck, gently tap thee back of thee wheel wich a rubber mallet.
- Inspect thee brake rotor and caliper for any damage or excessive wear. This is a good time to replacee brake pads if they ay ane thin.
Repeat for all four corns. If you plan to reuse thee factory spare tire carrier for the 35- inch spare, check the carrier 's wagin rating. Many factory carrivers are nott designed for a 35- inch tire and may sag or crack. Consider a heavy-duty aftermarket carrier or a tailgate ement bracket.
Install thee New 35- Inch Tires andWheels
With the old tires removed, install the new 35- inch tires onto thee hubs. The wheel selection matters: a backspacing of 4.5 inches or less helps clear thee frame andd control arms during turning. If your backspacing is too high, the tire will rub on the lower control arm or sway bar. Usie wheel spacers aa last resort, but ensure they are hub- centric and installad with thread locker.
- Chrzanić to, że hub mounting surface again with brake cleaner anda rag. Check for burrs or warped rotors.
- Wyrównaj te wszystkie nowe, które powinny być wycięte i wheel onto te wheel stugs. For hub- centric wheels, thee center bore should fit snugly over thee axle pilot. For lug- centric designs, thee lug nuts will center thee wheel.
- Zainstaluj te te muty, zaciśnij je nawet in a star pattern until they y are snug. Nie ma potrzeby, aby impakt wrench for final zaciskania - use a torque wrench.
- Lower thee Jeep back to thee ground (but keep it supported on thee jack stands for the next steps).
- Using a torque wrench, hertten each lug nut in a star paktin to thee exirer 's speciation. For most Wranglers, this is between 100 and130 ft- lbs. Check yourr owner' s manual or thee wheel exirer 's spec. Over- herttening can n warp rotors or snap stups.

Check for Cleance andAdjustments
After mounting all four tires, perfom a thorough clearance check. Even with a flt, 35s can rub at full articulation or crutt turns.

For extreme off- road use, consider relocating the ABS wheel speed sensor wiring if it is in danger of rubbing on thee tire. Zip- tie the wiring out of thee way.
Gearing and Drivetrain Rozważania

- For TJ wigh 4.0L: 4.56 works well; 4.88 for low- end torque.
Regearing must be done by by by an experimenced technical with proper setup (including master install kits, solid pinion spacers, and proper backlash). If you postpone regearing, be aware that your speedomer will be off by about 10- 15%. You can use a speedlomear calirator (e.g., Superchips Flashpaq or AEV ProCal) to correcret it.
