Red face 31" tires on stock Grand Cherokee?

A buddy of mine gave me a set of 4 Goodyear Wrangler Territories, 31x10.5x15. Will this fit on my stock Jeep or will I need to lift it or install spacers?

If so, would you recommend a lift or spacers? Any size or brand better? I'm looking for something affordable, not really looking to dump a lot of money into her, since I need tires badly and these were given to me for free, plus now I have an excuse to make my Jeep look badass!

Or would cutting out the fenders just be easier/cheaper? -- as long as it doesnt look too terrible, this is my daily driver (turned part time mud toy once I get these tires on, some way some how)

Any opinions are appreciated
Someone with similar experience and issues that could help would be awesome!

31's work well with my OME spring lift, which is about 1". I need to limit the steer stops someday to prevent rubbing at full turns. Also, my bumper is trimmed along the fog light lines.

I think a set of 2" spring spacers should be sufficient.
