Yikes! Thought this thread was about something else! :blush:

Yep, wrong wheels.

35s work great on the factory wheels and many others, but offset/backspacing matters

Backspacing is good, but that offset is what's making it rub.

To correct it? Swap wheels. Or better yet, if you’re going to use your Jeep off-road, swap wheels and tires for 35s on 17’s or 18s, you’ll appreciate that extra sidewall for the ride and performance, especially when you air down. They’ll look better too. :like:

… I know, I know, looks are a subjective thing.

19 offset is plenty pushed out.. AEV wheels have +25 offset and run 35s fine. I bet the mopar lift rendered a lot of lift height and the axles are not centred now.

OP, are you rubbing only on one side - that would mean axle is offset by about an inch. if rubbing on both sides, then check clearance on lower control arms and fender air dams

If you’re rubbing the evidence is there. No way to hide it. Just gotta get dirty and get a good look.

Drive through some mud, let it dry, and then the rub spots will be more obvious.

I’m thinking with the lift and not having the axle centered was the issue. I have since installed an adjustable track bar and it seems normal so far in my turns. I’ll try some more u turns and report back.

Good to hear, sounds like the issue was resolved!

Curious though, how wide are the wheels and is the offset -19mm or +19mm?

You had mentioned 4.75. If this is the backspace?
