Anyone know what’s the biggest tire size you can put on a stock Jeep Tj without rubbing? I don’t mind putting wheel spacers if I have to. I currently have the stock 15” aluminum rims, would I need new ones?
What's the biggest size tire I can fit with no rubbing?

31x10.50R15 is the biggest that will fit without rubbing. You can mount that size tire on your stock wheels.
If you have a small amount of sidewall rubbing when the steering wheel is turned to its full lock position, you can easily take care of it with a pair of washers placed under the steering stop bolts like is explained at http://4x4xplor.com/steerstop.html

Not helpful advice to a new Jeeper. Some might take that advice seriously and then they'd be in trouble.

OP
I run JK 32's on a few with no issues and nothing done other than to get the right adapter thickness to keep the top of the tire off of the edge of the flare. Yes, if you take it hard to full lock in a parking lot, they will slightly rub on the control arms but I'm in control of what my vehicle does so I just turn back a small amount and it stops.
I think this depends what you're doing with your Jeep. I could get my 31s on stock wheels with stock suspension to rub the fenders at full flex. Also, with stock backspacing on the wheels, the tire will hit the spring perch and block steering toward the drooped side of the axle at full flex.
That is at the full limit of articulation, though. If you can stay away from that, you won't have any issues.
That’s true but the bigger the tire on stock suspension, the more up travel you lose. That’s going to affect both on-road and off-road performance.
He could also fit a 33" if he wanted. Of course it would ride like shit I'm sure.
