Ok, here you see some familiar tires and wheels. They are true take offs a 2018 Rubicon. I got the the 5 wheels and tires for 1200.00 minus 100.00 dollars since the seller mislabeled his post and said they were KM2 tires. I got 100.00 off for that mistake. I looked online for a set of wheels with proper backspacing but I really could not find a set I liked enough to spend money on. These Jeep wheels are great looking. I am currently running a 1.5" spacer and a 1 1/2" body lift. At this time and the inside tire does rub the sway bar. The tire also rubs the bottom of the fender with not much effort. As is now the drivability of my Jeep is unacceptable.
I have found a 2" wheel spacer and may install that if a 2" lift does not resolve the tire rub to acceptable. A 2" spacer will put my tire outside my fender by 1/2". My fenders are wider than stock I think. I like the idea of a little tire showing. I know a spacer is unacceptable to some, but until I get radical off road it is acceptable to me.
I am limited by low garage clearance so I am trying to first address this issues with a 2" Rock Krawler Stock Mod lift. The lift will reposition the sway bar a little higher and hopefully reduce the amount of sway bar / tire contact to acceptable. I guess the bump stops with address the fender contact. Bumpstops are a new concept to me and I wonder why we spend money on suspension and then limit the travel.
These photos are with no lift installed and I am running fine around town as is but I have to be careful.
