Question 295/70/17 Tire Question

I have searched endlessly is anyone running 295/70/17 or 285/70/17's on a 2 dr x s pkg with the stock 17" wheels and a 2.5" BB with no wheel spacers on here? I am specifically interested in photos of them on the jeep , and if there is any rubbing issues. I am only interested in pictures of jeeps with stock 17" wheels with no wheel spacers. Thanks in advance

I have the 295-70-17 and I needed spacers. They rubbed on the control arms in the rear.

Under flex or just sitting on the ground?

I want to run the 295/70/17 too, but with the teraflex leveling kit and no spacers. I thought the problem with the BBwas the new swaybar links in back. I was hoping without the longer swaybar links, it would not rub. Has anyone tried the 295/70/17 on the TF leveling kit.

285's Toyo's here also .... ran for awhile with only rubbing at the turning extremes. Bought the clayton control arms, put the tires back on and couldn't back out of the garage.... had to buy spacers (atleast in the rear) all is good now. Highly recommend this tire size for a very streetable and easy to drive Jeep.
