35's on stock wheels
I'm contemplating putting 35s on my stock wheels. I have a 2012 Harley edition so the stock wheels are 22x9 with the +44mm offset for a backspace of about 6.25". The tires I am looking at are the Cooper Discoverer STT Pro 35x12.5x22. I'm thinking about the Rancho 4" lift which, according to Rancho, fits a maximum backspacing of 6.5". Anyone out there who's done something similar to this have some input or advice for me? I just don't want to spend the money on the lift and tires only to have big rubbing issues. I think I'm OK with minor trimming of inside the wheel well if it's needed but am worried about rubbing the control arms. I go off-road sometimes but nothing aggressive like mud riding, just driving to some possible fishing or hunting holes. Thanks in advance for any help.

I'd venture to guess your tires will be rubbing on the UCAs. I have 12" tires on +34 offset, and have 1/2 of clearance (12mm). Check the tire size sticky for info on the set up you want.
