Love the stance of my jeep now. I was told that I would need spacers to clear my 285/. They rubbed at full lock at stock height now they don't. Am I in the clear?

They say to use spacers buy I havent had any issues yet. Im running q 275/65/18, about a 32 in tire. You might rub when doing some extreme wheeling.

I'm running 285-75-16's on 4"BS and I rubbed the flares a little when flexed with the wheel turned... You be the judge... I'm not thinking that would had gone well with the wheel turned.

My bars will not be disco'ed here. And besides putting wheel spacers on will create more contact with the fender won't it?

Potentially, YES. More of the meat of the tire would be out from under the fender. As far as other rub is concerned, maybe on the airdamn...I just used a scroll saw and took an inch and half off both sides when i went with 295s. It only rubbed going over curbs into parking lots/driveways.

I have yet to rub since installing the leveling kit so I guess I'm good.
