Default 35x12.5/17 on stock wheels
I am wondering if I can run 35x12.5/17 on my stock wheels without spacers for like 2 weeks until I get my new wheels or spacers

No, unless you are only going in straight lines

You can get 1.25 spacers off of eBay for $110 shipped, mine came in 3 days

I ran 35x12.5 on stock Sahara 18's and the def would not work, the 1.25 spacers put the tires right at the edge if the flairs

I ran 35s on stock wheels and no spacers for two days with no problems at all. I think it looks a little funny but you'll be fine till your wheel spacers come in.

Will the spacer fix all the rubbing? I am running 2.5 lift and flat (trimmed) fenders.

I had no rubbing with 35bfg's on stock Sahara rims w1.25" wheel spacers, 1.75" coil spacers and 1.25" body lift. I had full flairs so you should be fine. You might need to trim your pinch seam though if you haven't yet.
