Default help me please!

I have a 95 jeep cherokee xj with a 4.5 half rubicon express lift, with 33 inch super swampers on it, and when i turn super sharp they rub and when im at almost full flex, im getting the bushwacker flares cut out style, do you think that will eliminate the rubbing pretty much all together??? or i was thinking 2 inch wheel spacers but if i get 2 inch wheel spacers for the front do i have to have them in the back also? Please help me with some answers



Thanks

For starters did you trim your fenders at all ? The bushwackers will cut-out a good amount and will probly remedy the problem. If not I would try rims with the correct backspacing, wheel spacers will ruin your wheel bearings (so I've heard).

No i didnt trim the fenders at all yet do you recomend i just get it done when i put the bushwhacker flares on? i live on the beach so im not really going to be rock crawling or anything i just want the rubbing to be stoppd for the most part when i turn, do you think by putting the bushwhacker flares it will be ok for the most part or should i trim some still?
