You can just trim but they would just barely fit. I'd spend the extra 150 bucks on a 2 inch spacer and 2 inch rear shackle so you have some flex room.

Trim your fenders (a lot) and you could actually fit 33's. Just depends on how much articulation you want. Look up Mike H's profile on here and you'll see he's running a 2.5" OME lift with 33's. Click on his photo albums and you'll see the kind of fender trimming it takes.
