Well like the title says, I have some 31 inch snow tires I want to put on my stock wheels for the winter, but I don’t want to lift until spring. Would they fit with the Napier flat flares? Everything is stock

They should but it's going to look funny. The tires are gonna be sucked in under the flares with the stock wheels. If that is ok with you, I don't see why they wouldn't work since you have to trim for the flares anyway.

do you think it would rub very bad on the lcas, frame, or wheel well when turning or flexing of road? And I’m not worried about looks, in the spring I’m planning on putting a 4.5” lift on it and 33x12.5 mt tires with 3.75” bs steelies.

Flexing will likely be a problem offroad and you will have to run long bumpstops. Basically, I would keep it on the pavement/gravel and keep the swaybar links connected.
