i have a 2000 sahara and i just put a hi clearance fender kit on it along with a 1" body lift, and i was wondering how much rubber i can fit on it? i mostly go mudding and some trail riding so i dont need alot of flex and i am more than willing to trim the rear. i got 15 x 8 rims with 4" backspacing i was thinking 35's or 34's what do you think???

I have flat fenders too with a 3.5 RE lift. easily fit 33s can prolly stuff 35s with no issues on mine. if your stock everywhere else prolly 33s or 32 would fit fine. i only rub when fully flexed out.

02 Tj with a few mods

if you highline, you can run 35's with stock suspension.. tubes like rawkon's basicly only get rid of the flare and create an illusion of more tire clearance, they aren't any higher than the stock fenders with the flares pulled off. bigger tires need taller bumpstop extensions, which takes away uptravel, flexibiliy and ride quality.
heres some stock fenders I cut and raised 3.25" last week... you can do the same using the tubes that are attached/welded to the stock fenders. it also gains room at the rear opening against the firewall where 35's become a problem on short arms.

I highlined my stock fenders also. I can run 37's with my 2.5" lift..
