I have a 2010 JKU Sahara with 52126317AC springs up front and 68004458AA springs in rear. Fenders are stock.

New wheels are M/T Classic III 17x9 with 4.5" BS.

Question is:

Am I going to have rubbing with 285/70R17 (32.8") Duratracs?

I won't be doing any off roading until the extended warranty runs out at 100k miles. (I have 50k on it now.) Then I will install a 4" lift with 35" tires, bumpers, winch, regear, etc.

This is just for mall crawling for now.

 

I had the same size tire in a BFG KM2 and didn't have any rubbing at full stuff on stock suspension. Spring rate doesn't matter, it's the bumpstop that limits up travel. Why wait to off road?

 

Here's mine with 285/70/17 BFG A/T KO tires on stock wheels and 1.5" RC wheel spacers.

My springs are newer 18/59 springs though.

 

Thanks for the encouragement, guys.

"Why wait to off road?"

Well the JKUS is not only my DD but also my company vehicle. Better than 50% of the miles on it are interstate at speed limit.
(Ok, may be a smidge more. I like the way it handles at 80mph. )

If I go full-bore off-road-equipped now I'm afraid it will hurt highway driveability. Besides, after I reach 100k miles the Jeep will become my dedicated RV and I will buy another "company vehicle". Maybe a Grand Cherokee.
