There have been many threads made around this topic, but I have not found an answer to my exact question.
I have recently put 35" (34.4x12.7) Mickey Thompson's with JK hard rock wheels on my JLU sport. Most say that this setup will not rub after taking off the front splash guards, but I do have some rubbing at 95% to full lock on the inside components.
I am planning to lift the vehicle a total of 2.5-3 inches with potentially doing a Rubicon suspension swap. I am wondering if the change in geometry would cause it to not rub any longer, or if I need to use spacers to eliminate the dreadful rubbing. It may be a dumb question, but I figure with Rubicons being able to ride 35s stock with similar, but higher, suspension I thought that lift might have something to it besides the slight difference in backspacing of the rims.
Also, if you run spacers on your JL, how is that going? It frankly makes me a little nervous, and I don't want my tires to stick out way past the flares.
Thank you,
