Are you 2wd or 4x4 do you have a leveling kit? Are your tires a super agressive MT?

I would just get the 5/16" wheel spacers. They are 7 bucks a piece at auto zone near me.

Actually hold that thought. I misread where you meant it was rubbing. So it's almost like the rim isn't big enough and is running ontop of the brake assembly? If so the only way I can think of fixing this is grinding the caliper down or getting maybe 1.25" wheel adapter spacers
