Default Anyone runnin Duratrac 285-70-17 on stock wheels

I have an 09 Unlimited X with 17 inch stock alumimun wheels, I am thinking about upgrading to Goodyear Duratrac 285-70-17 and would like to know if any of you are running them without spacers and if you are experiencing any rubbing.
The Duratrac are 11.5 wide and I am not a big fan of spacers and just wanted your thoughts.

They will rub. I have 285/70R17 Duratracs on aftermarket wheels with 4.75 BS (equal to 1.5" spacer on stock wheels) and they rub at full turn.

I have 285-70-17 BFG KO's on my JK and they rubbed the stabilizer bar, put on wheel spacers and no more rubbing. Look better also.

Them 285s look like they fill the wells nicely. What do they actually measure(inches)?

I am not lifted yet, but will be this weekend (TF 2.5 Coil Lift) so I will report back after that. My wheels have 4.75 BS which is equal to stock wheels with 1.5" spacers.

My 285 Duratracs on 17s measure 32.1 with 35 PSI.
