Looking into getting this setup below, Based on my research I don’t think I should have any issues but anyone have a similar set up/have any rubbing issues if so? Have 3 inch lift in the font with Eibach kit

I am 3.5 lift on285/70-17 on +35 with a steel bumper and all the forward crash support removed. I had rubbing on the rear bar at full crank, even going up a driveway ramp.

By comparison, your tires are 30mm narrower, but your rim is 47mm farther out. -47 +15 leaves your outside sidewall 32mm farther out than mine, and your diameter is 12mm more than mine, so 6mm closer to the crash bars.

If you are on factory suspension I expect you will have allot of rubbing.

-12 will be sticking way out there if you didn't know. Disregard if that is what you are looking for.

That offset is likely going to give you some rubbing issues. It will also push your tires outward by more than 2.5”, which will likely result in rocks being kicked up against your doors.

It‘s a lot of poke, Bro’. ?

So diamiter itself wont be an issue but the offset will. Primarily around the crash bars and fenders is where you will have your problems. My suggestion is to not have the wheels offset that much.

They do have a +12mm that was my backup plan to be more conservative but wanted to ask the question about the -12mm

+12 is still larger diameter and farther out than mine are.

I think you meant to say offset
I meant:

That same rim in a +12 model and the same tire, is still larger diameter and sit farther out than mine are.

I just left out the bold words.
