i would agree that 1.5 is good for 35's. i had no suspension lift, 2 inch body and axle foward and the 35's didnt rub. will now have a problem with them rubbing on the front of the fender well.

I run Q78`s (just under 36) with 2 inch wheel spacers and have moved front forward 40mm. I have also belted the back of the wheel arch with a sledge hammer and slightly cut the guards. I don`t have any rubbing on body work at all, but the tyres do come to within about 2mm when new.
