I have 275/70 r 18 on my 16 jk tires only rub when wheel is fully locked out( doesn't sound to bad like it's just hitting the plastic) in the future I'm planning on taking the jeep on the beach or off roading. Do you think that will be a problem with these size tires wheel well doesn't look too stuffed but I want to have an idea before I go off road and have the tire rub real bad and cause an issues sorry if this is a dumb question I'm new to the jeep thing

Just place a washer on the steer stops to stop rubbing your control arms. If your front air dam is making contact just trim plastic. Your tire size is good for wheeling. Your tread determines grip and mud clearing. I ran Cooper STT on the same size both stock and lifted for a few years and liked them.

Or you can get some spidertrax spacers (wheel adapters) for $100+ bucks... But I will consign on the guy above, if it's just rubbing the wind dam take it off.
