I ran KO2 37s (measures 36.5 unloaded) on my stock rubicon for 6mos and wheeled it like that. No other mods. Very minimal and tolerable rubbing.

I’m running 37x12.50r17 Mickey Thompson ATZP3 with mostly stock suspension (Teraflex 1.5 leveling kit up front) and stock wheels /no spacers on my Rubi for 3 days now. Slight rub on full lock in left turns. Manual transmission- the gearing and rolling mass is pretty noticeable on hills and highway. Regularly downshifting where I used to just cruise in the higher gear. It’s not terrible but not optimized either. Averaging about 15mpg - was at 16.4 on stock. Likely have a @Clayton Off Road 2.5” in my future and a regear.

Would spacers have stopped the rubbing or was it on the fenders? What did it rub on? Was that fullback and full articulation ?

Rubs a little both vertically and turning. Since the lift it doesn't rub vertically and still rubs on turns a little but I don't care.
