Default Question about 2.5 inch lifts with 265/75 tires

Wanting to do a small lift to eventually use 33s. Right now I've got BFG 265/75-16 on my stock wheels. Will these rub without using spacers or going to new wheels? I know the bigger tires do, but can't figure out if these smaller ones will. Eventually I'm going to 17" aftermarket wheels, but I don't want to waste these tires right now (too expensive) and I don't want to buy spacers. I'm sure this has been explained somewhere, just can't find it. Thanks

They will rub without spacers with the 2.5" lift. I have the TF 2.5" coli lift on mine and it rubbed before I got the TF wheel spacers. Mine rubbed the back of the wheel though, not the tire.

Dang, was hoping to get away with doing it cheap. You have teraflex spacers? How are those compared to the spidertrax?
