Default Leveling kit/tire questions

I think I've finally settled on the Teraflex 1.5" performance leveling kit as the best lift option for my 2011 JKU Sport. This is the coil kit, not the spacers. I'm going to be purchasing some 17x8 procomps with 4.5" BS.

Ive tried to find an answer through search with no luck so far. My question is would a 295/70/17 tire rub my fender while flexing? Right now I'm looking at mainly the Nitto Trail Grappler. I will probably add flat fenders later on, but if I'm going to have rubbing issues I may go the 285 route...

Also does anyone make a 295/75/16? If so I'd probably go that route since they'd be cheaper.

Thanks for the input!

Just took off my Teraflex performance coil kit and put on a 2.5" Teraflex coil lift. The leveling kit was a super riding kit that performed well. I am getting 35s and needed a little extra clearance. If you are going to stick with 33's the leveling kit is perfect. I had added a Teraflex 1/2" spacer to mine to compensate for my winch and bumper. Didn't look to see if you have Rubi shocks, but if you do the leveling kit works well with them.

With my swaybars disconnected I rubbed a few time on the front and rear fenders while riding a few moderate trails. I'm now looking at replacing the tf spacer leveling kit with the 2.5" coil kit and keeping my 285 duratracs for the flex room.

I ran 295/75R16's on stock 16's with spidertrax spacers with only a 1.75" lift up front and stock in the rear... no rubbing.
