Along with a body lift you can, I believe.  33's should be the max with 4.5 lift

Have you tried google or search the site?  This has been covered A LOT

I have seen 35s run on TJs anywhere from 0" of lift to 6" of lift.  It all depends on your creativity

i would just recommend a 1' spacer and they should run fine or just put on a 33' tire(saves the work)

Dont put a 1" spacer with a RE 4.5 inch lift. Its already to much lift on a short arm TJ and will ride like arse. Another inch will just make it worse.

Why the RE 4.5?

Been hanging out at the local shops or something?

Now if by spacer you mean body lift then you're on the right track. I'd wait and see which tires you want to run, what width of rim, how much backspace etc. I've seen 35s run on 3" suspension lifts only. There are way too many variables to say oh you need exactly X amount of lift for this size tire. Hell even the shape of the tire itself will change everything.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I was always under the impression that tires were circular in shape   ??? ;D

Does Interco know that you've posted a pic of their tire on this site?

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(
