Default need help figuring out this problem.....

I had just picked up a jeep cherokee a few days ago, and of course i want to lift and put bigger tires on it but i ran into a problem... the other night i took the jeep to the car wash, to clean it up a bit and then noticed when i turned the steering wheel all the way to the left, and backed up, it would feel like i was driving on uneven pavement or driving over rocks or something. it would only feel like it was coming from the passenger side front wheel well... i need to figure out why and whats doing this before i lift her... any ideas i cant seem to see anything when im under the jeep

Maybe you checked for this already but sounds like a tire is contacting the control arm or part of a fender? Are the tires any larger than stock?
