35" tires rubbing on sharp turns

[Dan24]

Hey guys, I have a 2-13 JK and I added a 2.5 inch lift and upgraded from 33s to 35s and now I have some tire rubbing with slightly sharp turns. I checked everything I could see before I added the 35s and everything said that with a 2.5 lift I would not get any rubbing. Does anybody have any advice? Is there a way to of-set the tires wider a little bit? I made this change becasue we go to Moab alot and I just needed a bit more height. I don't want to go with a bigger lift because I have MS and getting in to the jeep as it is is a bit of a stretch. Thanks

Is it rubbing on the fenders or control arms?

Control arms then you'll need a wheel spacer.

Fenders then a flat top fender.

Don't cheap out on wheel spacers either. You'll need hubcentric spacers. I use blue Loctite on the studs to make sure the lugnuts don't back off. I used 1.5" wheel spacers on my WJ for 10 years. Never had an issue.

You will need rims with 4.5”
backspacing .

you could try a couple of washer on the steering stop

Same issue with the wife’s wit’s 33” on Sahara, did the washer thing for now. Needed two of them each side.
