youll rub the CAs at full lock and probably rub the leaf springs. get some spacers or new wheels.

with my 33x12.50's i have less than 1/4" clearance between sidewall and leaf springs. On the front they rub the sway bar when turned tight...
I like the factory jeep rims so im going with 2" spacers on mine

yes it will rub, both front and rear. the rear will rub on the leaf mount bolt and will probably chew up the tires.

12.5 wide tires require an 8 inch wide rim, and so it won't rub, you need 3.75 inch backspacing. you can probably get away with 4 inch backspacing tho, but tires will likely still rub on lower control arms. even with aftermarket ones.

I prefer the d-window ones over the circle window ones. I had the d-windows before I came across a good deal on a 33's on StreetLocks

1.5" spacers are plenty for a stock rim and 33x12.50s. 1.25" spacers would most likely be enough. I have 1.5" spacers with my stock rims and 32x11.50s and the clear the rear leafs and LCAs by a mile even at full lock .
