The tires you currently have are almost as wide as what you're getting.
So 1/2 inch closer to the frame. (32/11.5 - 33/12.5)
Then the rims you want (probably has 3.75 backspace) which is 3/4 inch further from the frame than stock. Plus 1/4 inch spacer.
So your tires don't rub with 4.25 backspace (stock rim + spacer)
You're adding 1 inch of space between the tire and frame, but the tire only increases slightly. Any rubbing sounds very minimal.
The forum creator Tom has 32x11.5 with only a 3 inch spindle and I'm more than positive his doesn't rub.

This is also true. It's partially the weight's fault too, but mostly the circumference of the tire that hurts it. Remember a 35 inch tire weighs almost 100 LBS with the rim on it. So just your rims and tires will weigh about 350 (rough guess)
The A/C is the worst, I never use it. On the 2.3L it kills the power and mileage.
