found it! I need to ask him some questions!
Edit - there are a few on the thread that didnt need spacers.. Im taking notes.
Edit 2 - PM'ed him, he tells me he is NOT running spacers as the wheels are 4.5" backspace. Looks like I have some options out there!
Now time to save $$$$ Tough with a newborn haha

I am running 4.5" backspace too, but 8" wide wheels which I presume is the width those come in? With that setup on the WK and 265/70/17 you'll probably be alright.
I'm running the MB TKO 17x8.5 with 33's now. There was so much rubbing that I had to cut out the rear seat heater hoses and beat the pinch weld as flat as I could. They also took out both my TPMS receivers. Other than that, they protect the valve stem much better than the Pintlers did, and the rims hold up to abuse much better so I don't knock chunks off the bead. As I have discussed in other threads, the XK-version Pintlers had the wrong backspace (5.75") and were bending the tie rods at full-droop and full-lock. The JK Pintlers backspace (5.25" was it Matt?) should rub a lot less, but again, are not really for trail use IMHO. I would say that 8.5" wide with 5.25" backspace is about optimum.

Yup! 8.5" wide with 5.25-5.5" backspace is the sweet spot (5.5" if you want wider tires)
Note that you're talking about tie-rod interference with the superlift though. This is not a concern with a spacer or OME type lift because the tie rod location is not changed in relation to the wheel hub. With the superlift, the tie rod is relocated to remain OEM geometry; this creates a condition where that wheel backspace becomes imperative to prevent interference.
