Wheel Spacers needed ?
I know alot of this has been covered but it sounds like it is mainly related to offroad performance. I have just installed my 3.25" lift and the 315/70/17 tires come in tomorrow. I am going to mount them on stock 17x7.5 wheels and have ordered wheels spacers but they went missing during the shipping process. (USPS ) Can I run 315/70/17's on stock rims with 3.25" lift for daily driving without any problem or maybe a little rubbing with full turning ?

My 33's on stock 17s rubbed on my sway bar and also wore through the speed sensor wire on the passenger side before I figured it out and added 1.5" spacers... the tires you are looking at are basically 35's and I'm sure you will run into the same issue I did.

My 285's rubbed at full lock and no flex, I had to do the steering stop mod. Get new rims with proper back spacing (or spacers if you are ok with them) for those tires.

Now I just had my 2.5" teraflex coil lift put on. I was afraid my stock rubicon wheels were going to rub(255 BFF mts) but the front is totally fine and the back doesn't seem to be rubbing. Here's my question if the upper connection of the sway bar link on the passenger side is close but not touching, should I be concerned with daily driving? I want new wheels but need to save some cash and get the ones I want.
Opinions? Thanks in advance!!!

Agreed, wait for the spacers. I put them on my 2011 JKUR with RK 2.5 max travel. The rear swaybar link was hitting the inside of the rim just barely. Went to moab and a few other places with no problems. I got the spidertrax BTW.
