This might be an odd thread on this section, but my quest is awfully specific. My rig is a JLU Sahara, with about 2" of coil spring lift and fox shocks. I am using the Mopar lift longer LCAs and have centred the axles using adjustable track bars front and rear.
After waiting months for a narrow 35 tire (35x11.5r17), I gave up and took a chance on going 315/70/17 C-rated KO2s. My wheels are 17x8 +30 offset - the same mm of offset as the AEV JL wheels (17x8.5 +25).
My tires rub ever so slightly at the hardest, fullest lock.. it's likely the faint rub of the edge of sidewall lugs at the absolute edge of the tire. I am left pondering the following 3 options to solve this issue.

- Live with it for a while, the edge of the inner lug will wear out after some miles and won't have the faint rub.
- Install one washer on each side of the axle on the steering lock bolt.
- Use this as the opportunity to upgrade to adjustable LCAs that have more tire clearance via inward bend.
