Default 6.5 and 35's?

Im looking to fit a set of my 35x14.50 thornbirds underneath my XJ, I was going to use a RC 6.5 long arm, my fenders are cut now, or will i need 8" to clear them?

Its not that I'm wasting money on them, I have a perfectly like new set in my building and would rather just use them for now, instead of going through the fuss of selling them and buying a new set

you only need about 3" to clear 35's just trim and bumpstop properly.

and i would run no tires before i run thornbirds, but thats your descision.

Spend about an hour each with a groover and they'll work as good as an all terrain. I run 38s with 7" and could clear bigger but I like the up travel.
