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.

Would spacers be an option?

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.

It's actually a 32.1" tire... It will not rub.
