Unhappy new jeep tire swap

Hey I am in the middle of buying a 2009 Sahara ....but I hate the OEM tires that come on that model and I want to swap out too 285/65/18 BFG A/T they are only .5" larger in size that the stock 255/70/18 (32.6" vs the stock 32.1") am I able to do this without them scrubin or rubbin?

I would say that you've got enough more for the hieght but check your distance inside between the tire and shocks/ suspension, the 285/65-18 is also about 1- 1.5" wider.
