Will I NEED spacers with this tire BFG KO3 in 275-70 18 ?

[REZARF]

I have a 2013 LC all stock.

I am going to add the OEM front leveling spacers to the factory suspension... should give me roughly 1" lift up front I think.

I am planning on running the 275-70 18 BFG KO3.

My question is do I NEED/REQUIRE wheel spacers to clear the UCA's or the KDSS? I really want the tires to tuck into the fenders but I don't mind a little bit of width.

In the 100 series world 1.25" seems to be a sweet spot with spacers. I tried looking through the 150+ pages of the tire thread but was overwhelmed. Looking to buy tires today if possible. The KO3's are now shipping.

Im not sure why you would when the factory tires on the LX are a 285/50R21 which are only slightly smaller diameter and a little wider

Bolt em on my friend.

You should not need it. It may rub inner fender liner a little but you should be just fine from the UCA and I'd imagine the bar as well. Wheel spacers would be for looks in this case. 1.25" should put the sidewall just slightly outside the fender. 1" would be pretty flush sidewall to fender.

I did not have any rubbing on 275/70R18
When I added 0.75” spacers (for looks since narrower than stock) I had to move the fender liner forward and trim the mud flaps .
