Default Largest Duractrac size I can run on stock suspension and sahara wheels?

Did a search but couldn't really find what I was looking for. I'm about to buy new tires for my 4dr '09 JKU and am set on Wrangler Duratracs. I want to make sure I do this right, though, since I will most likely be buying these tires online. What is the largest size I can run on my stock wheels without rubbing issues or anything like that? I've heard that Duratracs run small, so I'm looking for opinions and sizes. Also, if anyone knew of a place online where I could get a good price or discount, that would be great! Thanks for the help guys.

33 would be the largest. 295/65r18 but your gonna need wheel spacers. Just a side note, I rubbed with my 285s and I had aftermarket wheels then I installed the teraflex leveling kit.

I wonder where you searched, cause this seems to be the most asked question around here.

Tried searching for duratracs on stock suspension, duratracs stock wheels, and all variations. Led me to countless numbers of pages I couldn't really find a solid answer on while scrolling through them. Thanks!

I see everyone runs these wheel spacers. How effective and safe are these? It is my daily driver with the occasional weekend off-road stuff.

Not sure if under the '13 Model is any different than my '10 in regards to rubbing anything and tire size, but you're not running any spacers? At full turn and flex, everything is okay?

I run 275/70-18 duratracs with 1.5" spidertrax spacers. No lift. Still had to trim the front airdam.

I had these same tires on 10 Sahara. No problems. No spacers. Will admit these are a hard tire. Load range E. But
no touching!
