Unless you're going to run spacers you may (will) find that you get more rubbing on the insides, the Territory rims have 4.5mm more BS meaning your tyres are 4.5mm closer to the control arms and wheel wells, even with 30x9.50-15s (exact same width as stock just taller) I get rubbing on the spring seats, inside the rear wheel wells, front bash plate, lower control arms etc, this only applies if you flex, the more lift (assuming equal flex) the more rubbing AND that's before you fit larger tyres....
