    Recently put some 1.25'' wheel spacers on, noticing wheels are rubbing on sharp turns left and right. Any idea what to do or what they are hitting?

    Maybe remove wheel spacers.
    Probably running the lower portion of the wheel well. What size tires are you running?

    Crank your wheel to full lock. You should be able to see where it hits. You usually rub when you’re suspension is flexing due to uneven ground during a turn.

    You can use chalk to check areas that are rubbing.. if you have oversized tires likely its you fender liners, or mudflaps/splash guards.. trim to fit.. if you have 33 or larger times likely that you are rubbing on the control arms, frame/BM and need to do a CMC/BMC mod. other one is you could made the steering stops taller on the knuckles.. but this will increase turning radius... earlier jeeps it was just a bolt you could turn out..

    I had 285s put on my truck and was rubbing the uca so I had 1.25 wheel spacers put on. I then started rubbing in the cab mount area on turns. I took the truck for an alignment and no more rub
