Rubbing after 35s

[Spearmin]

Recently upgraded from stock wheels and tires to 315/70/17 on 7x9. Now at full turn I hear a god awful rubbing sound against plastic. I know that something needs to be cut just not sure what. Any advice would be helpful. Also I cant stop looking at the thing it's beautiful.. it's either this or a Lambo. Below are the before and afters

Before cutting anything you might try adjusting the steering limiter bolt. Not sure the proper name but it's a bolt located underneath the brake pads toward the axle. I think there are two bolts in that area - this one is the bottom one. Has sort of a round top. Remove the bolt then add 2-3 metal washers and put the bolt back in. In my case it gave me enough clearance to stop rubbing and I didn't notice the very slight reduction in turning radius. I can get a picture if you can't find what I'm referring to.

Are you rubbing on the air damn thing that connects the bumper to the flares?

As stated above. Remove this.

I have 305/65's and the front tire just misses the lower edge of the air dam. My wheels are 8.5 with 5.2 backspace. I'm sure thats it as I will have to trim them if i increase tire size. Many people have trimmed the top and bottom off so it leaves the piece that keeps junk out of the wiring/back side of the fog lights.

Did you install a lift on this too or just add the 35" wheels? Any spacers? Looks nice!!

Quadratec had same problem - they could see the plastic wearing where the tire hit it. Remove the part shown above. Or buy a Rubicon.

Do you have any lift? Didn’t mention that in original post.

Yes 2.5 spacer lift.

Remove the euro looking sport air dam thing..... mine rubbed there till I removed them. There is a post on forum on how to do. Looks way better once you do as well.
