33.2x10.8/18
Usually anything wider than 10.5" wide will rub.

I had this size of Duratrac on my stock Sahara. Rubbing on the swaybars at full lock. Otherwise fine.

Adjust your steer stops so there's no rub on the control arms; trim / remove front air dam if there's contact; or install quality wheel spacers. I ran 275x70x18s and had to adjust the steer stops, later I installed Spidertrax wheel spacers. With a wider track, the jeep handled turns flatter and looked much better.
