likely a simple backspacing question!
I have been reading through most of the posts and newbie info related to backspacing but still cant quite find the answer i am looking for.
I have a 09, 4 door JK. 16x7 stock wheels. I am going to install the rubicon express 3.5 lift. I am trying to find out if I will need wheel spacers if i install 33x12.50's on the stock wheels or will they fit with no rubbing? If i need spacers what depth will i need.
thanks for any help.

if you are keeping your factory wheels, you should get a set of 1.5" wheel spacers. while you can get 1.25", you will need to grind your wheel studs a bit in order to make them fit properly.
