Default Tire Question with Stock Sahara Suspenson

Hey just have a quick question, I am picking up a practically new set of Terra Grapplers for my 08 Sahara-U on Sunday. As of now my jeep is sitting stock except for the .75" levelng spacers in the front (which are hardly even noticable anymore with 50k + miles on the suspension since I installed them. Anyway my question is will I rub on the street with the stock suspension. The tires are 295/70/17 wrapped around a set of Moabs. I've already ordered the Rough Country 2.5 Coil Suspension and RC spacers. So I'll only be running on the stock suspension for a few days a week tops.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I recently put 285/70/17's on my 2010 unlimited. The tires did rub slightly when i turned all the way either side. As soon as I installed the 2.5 coil lift the rubbing stopped. Hope this helps.

thanks, Im picking em up tomorrow morning...But with the heat lately in NY I don/t know if I'm in the mood to jack it up and do the lift and wheels lol. Wish I had an airconditioned garage.
