Looking to buy 31x10.5 tires but unsure about rubbing with a 3 inch lift. I don't want to do any cutting.

yes 31x10.50 on 3" lift. i fit 31x10.50 on a 2" lift kit and it worked great after cutting plastic in the inside of the front flares.

Do you get any rubbing when turning hard

[JeepXJMike20]

it clears on turning left and right great on road. I dont have stock back spacing i got cragar rims 15x8 4" backspacing. I need to bumpstop the suspension to stop tire rubbing when flexing. my experience is that i had rubbing in the back of the front flares mostly due to aftermarket rims and backspacing. I trimmed the back of the flares in the inside to clear the 31x10.50. here hope it helps you out.

10.5" wide tires on stock backspaced rims will rub a little on the control arms during sharp turning manuevers, but a shimming out the steering stops with a washer or two can alleviate the control arm rub easily enough.
31" tall tires will likely rub fender flares under flexed conditions with 3" of lift, but extending the bumpstops can stop the rub there.

This is it exactly. I had a 3" lift and 31s and rubbed on the control arms at full lock in both directions. I also rubbed the back side of the front wheel wells just driving in normal conditions. A little trimming of the inner fender plastic fixed that. If you plan on offroading, you will rub when flexing. Like Chris said, bumpstops will fix that.
