7's are pushing it and will rub on a jeep. 8's are fine for 12.5 wide.
they will rub stock lower control arms a little tho with 3.5 backspace. 4 inches will rub a lot.

Probably didn't read that though - they read the title and hit "Post Reply".

you are correct. but with a 12.5 wide tire, you will need at least 3.75 inch backspacing to not rub too much. and with a 7 inch rim, you won't find one with 3.75 inch bs, maybe 4.25 at the very least. so yeah, it will rub without the use of spacers.
a stock 7 inch rim has generally around 5 to 5.5 inch bs.
cheers.
