You don't have to worry about rubbing as far as suspension travel goes. I have 34" tires with a 2" leveling kit and I have been in numerous suspension situations and never experienced rubbing. However, there have been some instances when I have experienced minor rubbing due to full wheel turn (usually while parking and at low speeds). Keep in mind that my tires are 12" wide and the tires you are considering are almost 13" wide. The tires are very close to the control arms (with 12" wide tires). You may want to consider a slightly slimmer tire as I assume you would experience some rubbing in full turn situations.
