Default Tire upgrade

I have a 2012 sport unlimited with a 2" AEV spacer lift and was wondering if 305 70 17 goodyear wrangler duratracs will be ok to run on this setup as a daily driver, not much off road but i do drive the beach now and then, also the tires will be mounted on 17x9 xd spy wheels with 4.5 backspacing, also will i need wheel spacers and if so how far will the tire stick out from the stock fender. Thanks in advance

Do the tires stick out past the fenders with the wheel spacers, cops are very strict about tires outside of fenders here ?
