285's, and yes, a nice bumper would look great so I'm thinking of replacing it .
One of the bumpers I really like is the Warn elite.

When I ran 275x70x18's and no other mods, I rubbed the front lower control arms during full turns. I adjusted the steer stops so it would not rub. So, with over an inch wider tire, I'm sure you will rub too. You can add 1.5" wheel spacers to solve this issue.

My friend put the same size as you on a Sahara with Sahara wheels and he had to put Spidertrax 1.5" wheel spacers because there was rubbing. He also have a AEV 2.5" lift.

The front of a JK or JK Unlimited is usually between 3/4" to 1" lower then the back, so the TF leveling kit come with 2 front puck (1" each) that you can put on top of each other, and 1 back puck (1"). If you want to level the Jeep then you put 2 in front and 1 on the back. Also, if you have a heavy front bumper or winch...for sure you will put the 2 puck in the front to compensate for the extra from weight...

I wouldn't try with stock wheels without wheel spaces. Having some kind of offset always helps. I run 305/50/20s with Raceline octane they have a 5in backspace. The spacing helps.

Ok, so as I understand it.... A 2010 unlimited sahara can run 306/60/18 km2's on stock 18" wheels with just 1.5" spacers. Will I need the teraflex 1.5" leveling kit to ensure enough height?

Stock jeeps can fit a 33" tire. So you don't have to lift for 33's. The wider the tire, the further out ( less backspace) the wheels should sit. If you don't adjust backspace, and adjust steer stops, you will not turn as tight.

OK so just need 1.5" spacers to eliminate rub? Really the only question I have....

Correct. For the 305x60x18 (32.4") tires you want.

Now, on with more 33's please.
