Default 275/70/18

I have searched and read every post I could find on this subject but could not find the answer. I'm putting on 275/70/18 on a Sahara with a 2 1/2 inch lift . I know I won't have any rubbing on the hight but---Here is the question.

Will I have any rubbing or will I need wheel spacers with stock rims?

Based on the information I have seen over the last several months, 11" wide (yours will be about 10.83") should be okay with no rubbing. I am looking at a similar size tire with my 2.5" lift and not planning on spacers initially, other than to maybe get a wider stance.

I think you are good to go, then just watch for evidence and sounds of rubbing.

I have that exact set up and have no rub issues. This picture is with 1.5" spidertrax spacers, but I ran them for several months with no spacers.

I'm seriously considering the exact same setup for my Sahara, so some pictures of your jeep after everything is installed would be very helpful.
