Where are you rubbing?
If you go with spacers, get the 1.25-1.5" ones. (spidertrax, etc) You want the type with two sets of lugs, not the thin ones that sandwich between the rim and leave you with less threads holding them on.
Or, depending on where you are rubbing, you can bring in the steer stops a bit. Or lift. Or chop. Or...

JK Write-ups, there is an index up top, open the Troubleshooting & Fixes section and read the Steer Stop Adjustment one.
Or get Spacers.
Or new rims with less backspace.

I installed 35x12.5's with a TF 2.5" lift. I had the same problem. You may want to the check the rear too. I had a very slight rub on the upper rear CA's with the inside of the tire as well.
1.5" wheel spacers will do the trick.

you are rubbing the sway bar, if you take a look you'll notice some scuff marks. I had the same problem. I went with rough country 1.5" spacers. Solved the problem drives and handles way better now, and I can cut the wheel all the way and not rub anything and it gave me a way more aggressive stance.
