I was truly hoping that instead of the debating, someone, somewhere, would have some advice on properly uploading pictures.

I'm well aware that my offset plays a part in why I rub! But I am also 100% certain that even with stock wheels I would rub with 31s. Like Diata said stock wheels will rub on the frame rather than the fender.

My 31s touch the bumper at some turns with cranked t-bars and keys (still new to get upper control arms), they hit with stock wheels... They hit with 2wd wheels. Hoping once I get arms they will clear a little better, level me out better, and have some better room when twisting around

So essentially from what im understanding from this is even with the rc 2.5" sl with upper control arms an all and with 15x7,+2 offset,4"backspacing that 31's WILL RUB????
