'95 Country that I bought in '95 w/ 'Upcountry' option. She has 389,500 original miles on her. At 380k, I installed the 3" full HD leafpack kit from Rusty's w/ the 31" Dick Cepak tires . Replaced original radiator last night ,lol...
( edit: I attribute the venerable inline6 HO 4.0 liter engine still having good compression to Rotella 15w-40 run for 15years together with Prolong HD oil stabilizer changed every 3500 miles ,fwiw)

What rims are supposed to be on 1998 grand Cherokee limited bought mine and they changed rims and tires before I bought the jeep feels tipping when I take corners and what to get right rims on the poor girl
Allow me to help you by clueing you in on something potentially useful ; Jeeps , unlike fastNfurious tuner cr*pp, have wheels or beadlock wheels ; 'rims' don't factor in too much on breakover angle or roll center ...sounds as though you've got some removed swaybars or dead suspension leafs and coils and possibly tires too low on psi but w/out details it is tough to help more ....pictures pictures pictures ,cool?
I have a 01 2wd. Front has Teraflex 1 3/4"-2" coil spacers. New coils 16.5" height. Bilstein 5100 2"-3" . Rear has new Leafs which raised it a lot and Bilstein 5100's.
I can put 2 1/2" or 3" coil spacers on front and shackles on rear if I need to level it out if front is to high. I don't know if an adjustable trac bar will help. I can do some slight trimming but would rather not.
My question is what is the best way to correct this rubbing?
Passenger side front wheel. Rear of fender
Driver side front wheel, Rear of fender
Driver side front wheel. Front of fender
From the pics the driver side has more clearance than the passenger side, but they both rub.
yep No muding or rock crawling. The passenger side rear fender is what bothers me on the trimming, where it rubs the most. The axle appears to be at a slight angle. If I trim, what is the best tool to use? Also the front is a tad lower than the rear so a taller spacer would/should level it out. Suggestions?

A dremel will make quick work of the plastic. The fronts tend to be a bit lower, especially since you have newer leafs, they'll settle and level out naturally overtime, but looks good to me. As far as the axle is angled right, that takes some work with the caster shoes and requires dropping the lower control arms. If it's not by a lot then it probably won't make a difference.
