i have a 2012 jk that i just put 285/70/17 tires on the factory rims and there a little bit of rubbing when i turn the wheel all the way. what kind of spacers would i need to but on to stop the rubbing??

 

What are they rubbing against? my tires rubbed against the air dam at full turn. even with 3.5" backspacing. i just took the air dam off. looks better without it IMO.
but depending on what its rubbing on....you might not need spacers. or you might.

 

Hi Kenny. I have a 2012 and I put 285/65/18's on it several months ago. Put a 2 or 2.5" lift on it and you should be fine. I have incurred no rubbing with my set-up

 

Yeah mine rub on the sway bar arms just a little bit. Spidertrax spacers is what everyone runs. 1.5". Bout 200 bucks for 4.

 

I would do this before spacers

They are probably rubbing on the swaybar. I'd leave it and either adjust the steering stops or just not turn full lock.

 

I would mess with the steer stop after you see how it does all flexed up

 

I would get spidertrax 1.5 inch spacers, I have same size tires and was rubbing at full turn, was going to leave and not turn full but sometimes you need full like to get in tight parking spot, just my two cents

 

Yep... rubbing on the swaybar.



1.5" spacers fix that and bump your stance out 3".

 

Are you in love with the stock Rubi wheels? If not, get a set of 17x9 aftermarket wheels with 4.5 backspace. Rubbing issues are solved. Alot of tire shops frown on wheel spacers. They feel they're unsafe for whatever reasons (liability issues most likely). When/if you decide to lift and get larger tires (35x12.5 are very common on JK's) you'll have the perfect wheel size for future mods. Changing the length on the stops takes away turning radius. JMHO.
