Default 255/85/16 will they rub

Hi guys, I sold my 35x12.50x15 TRxus MT's yesterday. I was looking at Super Swampers website and thinking of 285/75/16's then noticed they have the same tire in a 255/85/16. I was thinking that might be a better option for me. With 4" bs on the wheels will these pizza cutters rub with a stock suspension?

Tires specs are: H=32.7" total width= 10.10" and tread width= 7.4" Looking at running 16x7 soft 8 wheels.

I would suspect not. Don't the Rubicons come stock with 32s?
