My spare rubs slightly on the lip of the rear bumper. I have the steel bumper. I'm perfectly fine with it because it actually takes some stress off the tailgate. It hasn't scuffed the finish on the bumper, either. I'd bet if I aired the spare down to 20psi, it probably would not rub, but at 30, it is slight. I've heard others say theirs doesn't rub that lip. Your mileage may vary.
It fit snugly, but it did fit. Since all BFG tires tend to be a good inch or more shorter than their rated size, it probably wouldn't have cleared the bumper with Nittos or Goodyears. Prior to installing the RC relocation bracket, it pretty much sat on the plastic center piece of the bumper.
No lift then. I had the tires already installed by a mom & pop shop, just went to DT for a balancing.
Who installed them for you. Others are saying places won’t mount those on the stock wheel width? Trying to determine to stay with stock wheels or replace them.35 x 12.5 x 17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on stock Rubicon JL wheels with no lift or spacers. Runs absolutely fine. No rub and good clearance for city driving.
NICE! I have 37x 12.5 x 17 BFG Mud-Terrain on stock Rubicon JL wheels with 2”lift. Runs absolutely fine. No rub off road and drives as good good on the streets. Perfect for me for now.

At what air pressure are you running them at? Also did you have a problem mounting spare with that tire on it? Looking to get same tires for my stock rubicon
