Spacers
I lifted my 4 dr unlimited using the OME HD (620), this gave me a lift over 3 inches in the rear and 2.5 in the front. Will I need wheel spacers if I upgrade my tires to 285/70 R17 ? I do not want tires to rub when flexed or when fully turned.

If you run stock rims you'll need spacers (or aftermarket rims.) JKs can easily run 33s without any lift. The problem isn't the height, but the width. With your lift you could run 35s. There's plenty of threads here covering this topic.

No we grinded the calipers down, but there would have been some rubbing if we had not based on how much they touched during the test fit.

First jeep I have ever owned, should of bought one many years ago. Wife decided on the color, at first I didn't know if I would like yellow. I think, I really like the color now. 285/70/17 Terra Grappler with 2.5 inch lift.
