No...*MAYBE* with the spacers, but you will still have quite a bit of rubbing.

With a 3" in my 4x4 285/75's run on my control arms a bit...

I'm gonna have to agree with Rom!

I have 265X75's on my 2wd, no problems at all, still have all kinds of room under there. Problem comes with taller tires they get wider so thats where your rubbing comes from.

Oh and to reply to the why lift a 2wd, cause it looks cooler and works for those who cant afford a 4x4. And yes you can go alot of places with a 2wd if you just watch what you are doing and have good tires. I dont do it, and dont plan on lifting mine, just happened to be the tires that came on it.
