Default little rubbage issue

Got a deal on some 37" trails so I went for it. Lift is a 3.5"x- factor. 18x9 xd monster -12 offset.

I rub at full lock on the frame. Are my options to get wheel spacers or just those tabs to limit my turning radius.
Or could I add a lift spacer up front .
Any advice appreciate d

I'd be up for trading for some new 35s and cash maybe. These have 3000 miles

Adding a washer to the steering stops is practically free, hardly changes the turn radius, and potentially saves stress on the front u-joints. My setup is mild compared to yours, but that's what I did.

Yep, knew you meant that. If you do it, look for some relatively small outside diameter washers with a close fit on the inside diameter. There's some casting that can interfere with a washer that's too large. I put some blue locktite on the threads as well, but that's probably overkill.

The mechanical pencil in the pic is pointing to the washer installed under the steering stop. Unscrew the stop, re-install with added washer, test for tire clearance, done.
