I wanted to know what i would have to do to fit a 35" by 12.50 wide tire on my sidekick ???. I have a 4" body lift and i am getting the calmini 3" suspension lift, with 1" trimed out of my front fenders. Some jeeper made fun of the kick so I wanna show him up ;D. Thanks

hmm just show him up by taking something much smaller than him, and out wheel him. that always shuts people up.
it's always more impressive to show someone up by out driving them on the trail than just making your rig bigger than theirs.
just my 0.02 about showing someone up.

It's not going to impress him when you go out wheeling for the first time and destroy your front housing and/or a CV shaft with 35" tires.

I agree with the smaller idea (at least if you have the stock aluminum diff housing): get some 31's and wheel the snot out of it.

i usually wheel with jeeps on 35s i run 31s the only jeeps that keep up with me r the rubicons on 35s in our group. the rest don't have a chance remeber u r about 1000 lbs lighter than a jeep that inables u to do alot more. i also used to run 33 in tsls and ripped the hell out of my front end cvs then axle housing. so i fixed it and wentback to 31s.

i think you should go with 35s beef up front end & then go out and kick some but. as far as lift that should be close .i had 4" body 3" cal mini / with a spring spacer (1.5")and didnt cut fenders with a little rubbing.now I'm running 37"mtr's.        stan
