What are you going to do with the rims? And yes, they will rub.

The chart thats sticky at the top of this forum says "little to no rubbing" on a 1.5 inch lift. Thats a little missleading.

I plan on buying new JK take-offs as well. There is a set for sale near me for $250 for 5, and I need something temp as my 245/65's are shot and I've got the 2.5" lift on now with a 2-ring clevis in front. Anyone swap for these JK take-offs yet? Any first hand exp , esp with a 2.5 lift? They are really too cheap to pass up and I dont mind trimming a little. Really bigger than I wanted but let me know!

You will need a min of 3" of lift and lots of trimming to fit those 32" tires,more so since you also have to buy adapters to convert your 4.5 on 5 bolt patter to the JK's 5 on 5 bolt pattern which will push the tires out creating even more rub then you want to deal with.

If you look at the chart it show's 16" rims. For a 17" rim you have to add an inch to the size listed. Those tires are taller than the 265/75's I run with a Frankie and I still get minor rubbing with my trimming and pounding. So you will definitely rub, sorry.
