Can anyone tell me for sure if I get 4 door rubi front and rear springs, I can fit 285 70 17 on stock wheels without spacers or anything else?
Thanks for all the help!

Just because they are 4 door springs doesn't guarantee any lift. You need to see what you currently have for springs and compare them against the 4 door springs.
You are looking for the last set of numbers on the tag.
Search for a thread titled "let's solve the stock spring question" lots of good info there!

Yeah I know I have 15s in the front and I think 54s in the rear... I dont remember. I just want to be able to run the 285 70 17s without rubbing and without spacers.

Why are you afraid to run spacers? It'll create a bold stance for your Jeep and is the same bs as running aftermarket wheels. As long as proper care is taken (check torque at every tire rotation), and quality spacers are used (Spidertrax) you won't have any problems. Check out my profile for spacer pics, enjoy the ride!

From the FAQ's in the modified threads:
https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modi...17/#post211274
Q: What is the biggest size tire I can fit on my stock Jeep JK Wrangler?
A: The largest tire size that the factory recommends is a 255/75R17 (which comes standard on Rubicon models) or a 32x10.50. However, there are many Jeep JK Wrangler owners who are currently running as big as 285/70R17 or 33x10.50's with little to no rubbing issues. PLEASE NOTE: When discussing tire size, DO NOT take into consideration what the "actual size" of the tire is but rather, just what is listed on the sidewall.

One way is to adjust the steering stops.
Search "jk jeep wrangler steering stop adjustment"
Or look up the thread I started labelled "will it rub"
I am about to fit 285/70/R17 maxxis bighorns on my 2010 jku rubi with 2" of lift and it is illegal for me to run spacers where i live.
So it's either adjust this or get new wheels.
