Default 33's and rubbing

All,
I have a 2010 FX4 with KMC XD Monsters, 18" with +18 offset. I just put Bilstein 5100's on the front raising it 2 inches. Then I put Toyo open country RTs on there, 33x12.5x18. Everything looks great, I love them, but I do have a bit of rubbing when I crank the steering wheel all the way. Particularly when backing out of parking spaces.

Is there an easy fix to this? Somebody mentioned spacers to me. I don't know what those are and whether not they would help. Any thoughts are much appreciated. Thx.

Figure out where it's rubbing, likely on the valence and needs some slight trimming.

+1 for the valence likely being the problem. Just cut the corner off with a dremel or cutoff wheel.

Spacers will stick the wheels out further, and actually make it even worse.

Okay I will take a look this weekend when I can get under it. Thank you. Hoping it's something simple like that.
