35 is too big to do anything off road with in an un-lifted sport. A couple members have put on 315/70/17
(not true 35's) ko2's with stock rims and lifted afterwards. I don't know of anyone who left it stock height though.
Are you rubbing at the plastic bumper cover? If so that can be removed, use the search function.
If you are rubbing suspension components (inner rub) then maybe spacers will help your case but you are going to be so poked it will be comical.
If they are too tall and rubbing in that way, a lift would help your case.
Take a photo of the rubbing going on and maybe someone can help ya out.
Did you get your lug nut problem fixed?
Sure has been a learning experience thus far, hopefully you get it worked out since you have to be bummed having issues with a modification this early in ownership.

The plastic piece between the bumper and fender can be removed and rubs on bigger tires.
Some guys were running 315 on stock rims and reporting no rub, but you gotta take things with a grain of salt. Not many people are going to get on the internet and say I bought these tires they are too big and I regret it. Most people will naturally defend and justify their purchase.
The 315's that were installed have all had lifts eventually, they didn't come out and say "because I tried to stuff to much tire" but you make make the assumption by their immediate next move, which is lifting the vehicle.
If money is tight it may be best to sell the and tires and recoup enough to purchase a size that is more appropriate (285/70/17-295/70/17-285/75/17). But ya gotta see if the rim or 12.5 wide tire is causing the issue.

All you need to do is adjust your steering stops a couple turns out. Problem solved. No spacers needed.

Aren’t there budget boosts available for under $200? Wheel spacers cost almost that much. If money is tight, save up for a bit.

Yeah it's an option depending on if it's the height of the tire or the wheel offset. I'm gonna see where it's rubbing later and possibly remove air damn later and I'll report back. Thanks guys for the help so far.

Op has sport, to those sport owners watching the forums 35 x12.5 is too much tire at stock height.All you need to do is adjust your steering stops a couple turns out. Problem solved. No spacers needed.
Jury is still debating whether a 35 is even ok for the 30 Dana axle equipped on the sport. Speedo is going to be almost 10% off as well.
