You will hear yes and no. I would go with the spacers as it will also give extra stability.

I can say with 100% certainty that Toyo 285/70-17's rub on the sway bar on a 2014 rubicon with stock rims. I put a spidertrax 1.5" spacer and no more rub.

You will need at least a small spacer

I ran them that way for a couple months before the lift went in...

I have the MTR w/Kevlar in this size with stock wheels and no rub. I do have a stock rubicon suspension with Teraflex leveling kit.
