I run 31x10.5s on my zj with a 3.5in lift. I had a blow out driver side front in the trails and all I was able to use as a spare was a buddy's 32x11.5. I had some decent rub. There's a spot in the front wheel well that's like a razor, ready to destroy oversize tires! You may wanna bang that out

I'm not worried about wheel well, trimming that. I'm talking about clearing because there wide like am I going to rub on my sway bar in back. I'm not worried about thehow big they are want to know if the 11.5 wide on stock wheels will rub because of the width. Do I need to kick them out an inch to clear?

I rub my arms with 10.5's on stock rims, I bet a 1" spacer would keep me from rubbing easy, 1.5" would probably work for 11.5's.
