Default rubbing with 35" tires

Hi, I am thinking of getting 35" tires and I hear a few people say they have rubbing with their 35" tires without 1.5" spacers. I'm not sure spacers are even legal in British Columbia and don't want my tires to stick out more than one inch past my fenders.

If the only rubbing is on a tight turn, isn't there some sort of adjustable turn stop that I can set up so I can no longer turn as sharp?

It depends how wide your tires are. If the are 12.5" wide you will need the spacers or new wheels with less back spacing (4.5 - 5.0) and they will stick out about 1.5". Maybe find a narrower tire but anything wider than the stock rubicon tires (???10.5"???) are gonna rub if you don't space them out some.
