Default Getting new tires, got a question about rub

I ordered an HBS leveling kit put on, and am looking at a set of Revo A/T 35x12.50x17 put on some stock STX rims, anyone know if I will need spacer adapters to keep em from rubbing?

Also, if anyone has any suggestions on better tires for me, Im lookin to go as big and wide as possible, might add some fender flares later

Thanks for yalls help!!

I just got 305/70/17's with a 2" leveling kit, and there is not a lot of room between my tires and front bumper. I believe I am pretty much maxed out without getting a lift and I don't like lifts, so I am kind of stuck where I am at.

I did not need spacers either, but that is with after market wheels. I don't know what offset your stock wheels are.

I have 315/70/17 BFG A/T's minor trimming on the front valance, all was good until adding 1.5" adapters. I had a bit of trimming on the door side of the mud guards as well. They look great now with my flares.

33" Mud grapplers and a 2 1/2 inch leveling kit. They rub on the fender flares in full lock but only in reverse.

What does Full Lock do to it that it makes them rub?

If you don't have fender flares there is no worry but the lugs on these tires catch the bottom corner of the fender flare.
