Default adjust steering stops...OR... wheel spacers?

Hey all! I seem to have a problem many of you fellow XJer's have, with my 3in lift and 265/70r16s I rub on my LCA's at full turn. I am running the later TJ moab wheels which have 5in backspacing (if I am incorrect, feel free to let me know). My question for you lot is if i should just adjust my steering stops or get wheel spacers. My problem with wheel spacers is that while i do eventually want to get bushwacker flares I dont want my tires to pop off my stock flares. Also, I have heard good and bad things about wheel spacers, so i don't know what is the best course of action here. Does anybody know if i will limit the adjustment on my steering stops if i try and adjust them?

Thanks!

Are you running the stock LCA still? If so, these may help...

Those look like they could be the best option because i still have stock ones and want some aftermarket ones. I didn't even know those particular ones from rusty's existed! thanks!

Proper wheels are really the correct answer but the Rustys may very well work for you, and he is the only one who makes them.
