Talking fit 30 in tires?

I have a 99 xj and I replaced the rear leaf springs with heavy duty springs and it made the rear end higher so I bought a 1.75 in front coil spring spacer and now its even and lifted a little. I have 235/75r15s on now and it looks like i have room for a little bigger tires and I really want to get 30x9.5s. Will they fit? I am worried about them rubbing. I have 1.5 in wheel spacers on and wheeling occasionally but nothing too crazy.

I seriously doubt it. Im running 29s on a 2" lift and 30s on a 3" no rub on either rigs.

I have a 2" lift with 30s They rub a little at full turn. No big deal.
Since you have spacers I don't think you would have any rub at all.

If the suspension works and there is any proper body flex yes it will rub.
