my old mj had only a 4" lift with 34x9.5 on it, they would only rub when i would start flexing or they would rub the control arm with i would get past one full revolution on the wheel. my xj is getting a 4.5" with 33" tires while i've been running 31's with no problem on stock height. i think if you go with 10.5" tires you'll have less rubbing issues then with the 12.5.

if your tires are rubbing the control arms you can get wheels with different backspacing or get wheel spacers to keep them from rubbing or at least keep it to a minimum also there is a bolt on the bottom of teh steering knuckle that you can adjust a little it sets the stop points for turning
