new wheels and tires but tires rub..need advice
Whelp I've installed the tires but the left side rubs on the back of the fender well. I was going to buy some TNT long arms but those plans have been put on hold by an unexpected bill. I still plan to get the after I get back from my next deployment sometime in the spring. Right now i need to figure out how to push my front axle forward about 1/2-1". I still have my stock control arms since i was planning on replacing them with the TNT long arms. I'm thinking the cheapest way to fix this for now would be to install some adjustable lowers what do you guys think? I'm trying to avoid any cutting or getting rid of the flares for right now, I'll be buying some Napier flares come spring time.

If it's not rubbing too bad just let it rub... I wouldn't really spend money on new lower arms if you're just going to buy long arms.
