    That would be the proper solution to the problem.

    Try spacers first, if they don't fix the rubbing, you can always sell them on here... would be the cheapest way to start

    Alright OP, here's my take on it. First things first, remove your mudflaps. I view rubbing the UCA as worse than rubbing plastic, so that'd be my first step.

    If you want cheap, buy spacers, then trim plastic as needed. It's really not a big deal.

    If you want "right" (I put quotes because a lot of people run spacers and have zero issues) then buy some aftermarket wheels. You'll still be doing trimming.

    If you want cheap and easy, turn the radio up and pretend nothing is rubbing and continue with your day*

    I think LR/SPC upper control arms might clear if you cranked up the caster - probably a more complicated solution than OP is looking for, but might be a good route if there's already alignment issues from a lift.

    Eventually I'll go the route of changing wheels. For now though I went the Spidertrax spacer route.

    Going do a little trimming tonite and body mount chop this weekend if necessary.

    I was looking at these for my 18" rims like yours. Do you think a 265/70r18 would fit better? I have OME 885 coils with Nitrocharger 90021, LR UCA's and Dakar springs rear.

    From Cooper website ST Maxx sizes
    LT275/70R18 11.1 wide 33.39 tall
    LT275/65R18 10.8 wide 32.2 tall
    LT265/65R18 10.7 wide 31.81 tall
