Default Spacers?

Okay so I have a 2012 wrangler sport 2dr

With 33in tires, and the wheels rub. So I want to put spacers on them,
What size spacer would be a good setup? I kind of want it to give it the mean aggressive stance while still performing like it should. And I am definitely not wanting to cheap out either so. What are some really good brands that will hold up to my expectations?

Spidertrax seems to be the product leader, and the most suggested.

Ran 1.5" Spidertrax spacers for over 3 years with no issues. Follow the instructions, remove the lock washers on the rotors, use LocTite.

x2! Been using 1.5" Spiders on mine for about 20,0000 no problems. Just check and re-torque if needed. The loctite holds steady.

My spidertrax cost me $180. That saved me about $300 assuming I had went with a cheaper $100 wheel with the correct backspacing. I like how my tires look sitting out just a bit more. I even noticed a little better handling around turns with the wider stance.... not that I drive a JK fast around turns. I checked them at about 1000 miles after install and found 2 nuts a little loose. Retightened with new locktite and checked again at my tire rotation 4000 miles later and they were all solid. Very happy with this option.

Because I have stock rims will the spacers work with that? And will spacers get rid of tire rub or just make more of a problem ?
