Where do they rub and under what conditions? I am not noticing any rubbing with my on and off roading but my trails are different than yours

ETA: what conditions outside of that ramp flexing
They are not hitting outside of the ramp conditions. And I don't think they will

Yes they are on stock rims, and yea, thats probably why they rub a bit. If it becomes a problem I'll change it. But for now, for my wallets sake, it'll stay the way it is.
Spidertrax spacers should solve it for around $250. I put 1.5” on the JK, no more rub, handles better IMO and looks better with the stance.

I‘m waiting to wear out my Gladiator tires before upgrading to larger, so haven’t done it on the JT.

Here is a picture on the JK:

Looks like you had a little overspray on your receiver!
You’ll have to post a write up on the tailgate LED bars. Do they give you a sequential blinker?

Wheel spacers might be wallet friendly for you. Decent quality ones are modestly priced, and you can sell them to recoup some of the expense once you buy the rims you prefer. And I bet you like the stance of your Jeep a lot better. Here's a friend's JK on stock wheels with 33" tires and Teraflex wheel spacers for about $220 ...

just my $0.02 but Im leery of spacers. Ive had a could sets over the years on my JK and i broke wheel studs with daily driving alone...enough that I wont even touch them for the JT. Its an anecdotal observation but just wanted to throw some more point of view at ya.

Another Spidertrax user here. I'm using them on my JKU with 315's, stock wheels, and no lift for now..

I used Loctite Red on the lugs for the spacers....No issues *yet*..

I really need to get a lift on that Jeep.
