Default Will I have rubbing issues with 37-13.50-17?

I am getting ready to install my Rancho short arm lift. I know I will probably have to trim my pinch seam and fenders to fit 37s. I love the Goodyear mtrs but there on backorder everywhere, so Nitto is the second choice. Looking at Trail grapplers and Mud grapplers. The muds are 13.50 and Im wondering if I'll have rubbing issues at full turn. I dont want to use spacers. The rims Im getting have a 4.5 Backspace. I love the look of the muds and love the noise. Im going to run them on a 4dr rubi. Any advice would be appreciated.

I figured I probably needed them with 13.50 wide tires. I just hate to spend that much more cash when I need it for gears and other stuff. Doesnt spacers put more strain on everything? I know Im looking at one of the heaviest tires out there. I wish I could get my hands on a set of goodyears.

No there won't be any extra strain with spacers. Only get spidertrax brand tho! They are the best and are made of the best material(don't settle for anything else). If you don't wanna run a super heavy tire like the grappler look at the interco super swamper M16's. They have the best road/offroad for an A/T. But the grapplers would be sweet!!!
