I have a 2020 Rubicon with all stock lift. I put 35x13.50R20 Nitto Grapplers on Fuel wheels with no clearance issues at all.

35 X 12.5 X 17 on stock rims. No clearance problems but rubs when cranking the wheel hard.

I think when the Gladiator launched the jeep designers did say in some publication/video that they wanted Rubicon owners to be able to fit 35s without suspension modifications, so that's what I'd stick with if trying to keep things stock.​
The problem is that the Rubicon and Mojave fenders are different and have more clearance than the other trims and most owners of those want to immediately change from 35s to 37s as they fill those larger fender wheel wells better (I agree), so a slight lift is then needed.​
On the lower trims with their lower sitting fenders, 35s look just right with a 1.5" to 2" lift.​
