35x12.50x16 GY Wrangler Duratracs on a JK, in a word AWESOME! ProComp Xtreme Alloy wheels with 4.5" backspace work well, no rubbing and you still put the spare on the carrier.

Fellas, seriously check out the tire and rim prices. For what it cost for the tires for those 18" rims and the wheelspacers you could buy a new set of tires and rims with the proper offset...

I'm at stock height and I only had some rubbing on one part of the right front fender flare when I would turn. I had to cut a small section of it and now it only rubs on the lower control arms at "full lock". If I carry people in the back, then it hits the inner fender wheel well when I hit a hard bump.

Can't really tell you much on the way the perform overall as I bought them last month. So far, they are very good on dry and wet pavement. I went to play in some wet mud yesterday and didn't have any issue. I know this isn't a tire to do any major rock crawling, but I don't plan on doing any crawling until I get my lift on. Then I will buy some 33 or 35 inch tires.
Alright, so, after over 2 months of driving with them, I can say that I love them alot. Never had an issue with them. I'm just waiting to see how well they wear out. I don't do alot of mileage so hopefully they last awhile.

We have an 09 Wrangler X , 285/70/17 GoodYear Dura Tracs. Just got to drive the first time today in the snow and in 2WD they seem to have tons of traction. 4WD was, well, two times better !! It also has a 2 inch lift from Daystar.( I think, as it already had it when we bought it with only 19k)
