Default Question for 285/70/r17 Goodyear Duratracs

I've got a 2010 4dr JK and I just upgraded to Goodyear Duratracs 285/70/r17 on stock rims and I've got a rubbing problem. At a full turn, its not with the fenders or the wheel wells at all, its with the sway bar... Anyone have this problem and if so, how big a spacer do I need to get in order to run these tires with no rubbing without a lift.
Thanks

You need wheels with an offset of at least 4.5 I believe. Stock wheels will rub with your tires,.....as you know!! Spacers would eliminate the rub, but so would some new wheels with the proper offset!!!!! Great excuse to get new wheels !!!!

You can also place 2-3 washers on the turn stops.i ran 285/75/16 duratracs on my 2010 with three washers which stopped the rubbing.
