Wow! Impressive. It is the 1/2” change in backspacing that caused it. It was also on only the passenger side but the harder i went the more i felt on drivers side as well.

I get that but I think the 6” rim will bulge the tire more over a 7” than the 0.25” backspacing compensation
Just a guess though. I’ve never run those rims. I did just put a set of TJ grizzly wheels with 30x9.5 on my YJ today though. Great fitment of those. Love the classic old Jeep wheels, so much better than aftermarket IMO.

OP
No, 5” backspacing means it is suppose to push wheel further outward not inward. Since you mentioned it was only passenger side (Which I suspected as mine is a similar case
) means your front springs are sagging possible very slightly causing track bar to push your front axle towards driver side.I also found out when our in house genius @Jerry Bransford pointed out very correctly. As a result now I am shopping for OEM replacement springs
