Rear tire rubbing

[Tinag]

Hello,
l have 2020 jL unlimited sport s leveled only. I have 35 inch tires on 20 inch rims. My rear tires never rub when back seat is empty. Someone was in the back seat and my rear tires would hit fender or something when l went over some bumps. How can l fix this problem.
Thanks in advance

This Jeep has the same problem, rear tires rubbing with weight in the back.
The more weight there is in the back seat, the more balloons you need to add.

But seriously, 35s are a smidge too large for a Sport without a lift. Generally fine but they will rub at full articulation.

Where are they rubbing? If it's on the top or the lower lip of the fender, you need a lift or a higher fender. If it's rubbing on the side toward the center of Jeep you need longer/adjustable control arms (like the Jeep in the pic above desperately needs).

We had the same problem in my wife’s Jeep. Our solution was to lift it 2.5”.

As was said, a lift. The only way to fix a tire that doesn't fit rubbing...is to raise the vehicle.

So your running 35"s on a sport. Curious what engine? What gearing? 3:45?

Do you ever see 8 gear besides going down hill with a tail wind.
