Congrats on your purchase. One thing, the stock Canyon wheels have way too much
backspacing for 33x12.5" tires, check the rears to see if they are rubbing
against the upper spring perch.

Re: Seeking Wrangler Advice: Got TJ Baby!
I will check the rears for rubbing against the upper spring perch. I am not
familiar with the term 'backspacing'? Is this the 'offset' the wheel has
toward the center of the vehicle?

Backspacing and offset are related but two different measurements. Backspacing
is the distance between the mounting surface of the wheel and the inner rim.
Offset is the measurement between the centerline of the wheel and the wheel
mounting surface.
Here's a good site to explain:
