Default Do you think they will rub?

Ordered some 295/70/17 Cooper STTs for my '09 Rubi with about 3" of OME lift. I've got the stock rubi tires on there now. The tires won't go on for a few more days. Do you think they will rub without spacers?

I think you'll be fine. I'm running 37's on about 3.5" lift with no problems. Adjustable bumpstops are a good option if they end up rubbing.

Thanks. Getting them put on in about 2 hours so I guess I'll find out.

Little bit of rub when turned all the way to the right.
