Default JK wheels !!!!

Hi , everyone, I recently bought some pro comp wheels 18X8.5 , the wheels looked good, but I don't like the offset 19mm, the tires (325/60r18)rub on the sway bar. When I bought the wheel I first wanted 18X10s but they are hard to find. I 'm considering trading them for 18X9.5 or get some spacer ?

anyone with some advice , do you have pics to help me !!!

Get some with less backspacing or use spidertrax spacers front and rear. The spidertrax will be a cheaper option!

Spidertrax wheel spacers will solve your problem. They are $99/pr.
