I think there are a lot of folks on here running 34s/35s with no major issues. If you remove your spacers you will rub even less.

You'd be surprised, that's a big assumption. Lot of these builds are nothing more than 'gram builds. I'm willing to bet this thing isn't going to see more than a dirt hill. There's going to be plenty of rubbing if that suspension is flexed out but not sure that's going to be an issue here.

One of the lighter 34" MT (well 295/70/17) I've seen is the Cooper Evolution MT weighing about 59lbs. They're only 2 ply sidewall though so I'm guess that's where they shed some weight.
They come in pretty cheap too

I'm still riding on 285/70/17's and with all the weight I have I won't go with a bigger tire until I re-gear. She's right at the tipping point where it's still tolerable but I don't think it would drive well at all with a bigger tire.
