Default Wheel spacers

Hey guys I just got my lt285/65r18 trail grapplers on yesterday and I noticed I have a rub in reverse turning left. I believe it's rubbing on the coil spring. How could I fix this? I have the 2.5" autospring level. Would wheel spacers work? Maybe 1/4" ones?

It shouldn't be rubbing on coil springs, its probably rubbing the plastic wheel well liner, with my 305/70/17 on 2.5" i had minor trim and used zip ties to hold back the bottom of the plastic liner.

Defintitely not rubbing coil. It's rubbing the plastic part. Either trim or zip tie like amuck said. It reverse ur front end dips and hit the tire. I'm running 35s with level and it only rubbed it reverse. A little trimming and no more rub

I wouldnt use a spacer that thin. Weird to say that, reason being are the only spacers I would recommend is Bora Spacers. They are HUB & LUG Centric which is very important.

I'm running 1.5" Bora Spacers on my truck.
