Default Stock jkur with 1.5" spacers - will it rub?

I have a completely stock 2015 jkur. I want to put spider trax 1.5" spacers to widen the stance. Will it rub? Will it rub if sway bar disconnected?

Thanks

Nope you should be fine right now but adding the spacers pushes the wheels out further. So all in all you are good now or with the spacers. Just make sure to use lock tight when you tighten the spacers.

No lift, stock flares, stock bumpstops, stock rims, stock tires, just pushing the tires out 1.5"?

Stuff the tires with no spacers, get out, and look in the wheel wells. If the tires are stuffed up inside the wells, and you move them out an inch and a half, they will likely contact the bottom/middle edge of the flares. Should be very easy to decide whether or not they'll contact from a quick look.

You may also want to consider new wheels. If you factor in the cost of wheels spacers and the fact that you can sell your wheels there may not be much of a difference in price. Stock wheels are not very wide, so your limited in the tire width that you can run.
