Default Tires on a 3 inch lift

Could I run 32x11.50x15 on a 3 inch lift without rubbing? I'm not going to be doing too much off-roading since this Jeep is my DD. I'm getting a pretty good deal on them, so I just wanted to make sure before I buy them. Thanks.

Ya I really did not want to trim anything as of right now, and I'm kind of strap for cash so I can't add more lift right now. I guess my best bet would be 31's, right now I have 235-75-15 and I think they look small on there

Can I see a pic of what the 235's look like? I have been saving up for tires and not buy the lift until I can get tires. But if 235s look ok ill go ahead and get the lift then the tires.
