Default tire wheel combo question

I'm considering this combo on a 2013 unlimited:

ProComp 7036 Wheels (17 x 9, Backspace = 4.75")
Duratrac LT315/70R17 (equals 34.4 x 12,4 x 17)
Terraflex 2,5 " lift.

And have the following questions:

Will this fit without rubbing?
Will this fit on the stock tire carrier?

Thanks in advance!

Yes and yes.

PC 7069, 35 Duratrac and 2.5 TF

You'll need a wheel spacer on the factory carrier to get it off bumper and I don't know if I would make it a permanent thing but will definitely work for a bit. Just watch your tailgate for any welds popping or sagging.

Your going to also want to trim your pinch seam and rock rail.

I have the same lift tires and almost the same wheels and its a great combo. I did get minor rub on the rear fenders when flexed out so I cut my fenders. I guess I could have run stock fenders with a little rubbing but I love the flat fender look. A also ran the spare tire carrier for a little while but once I was able to afford a rear bumper I threw it right on. I don't trust the stock carrier and tailgate
