35" tires rubbing with a 2" lift.
I have 35-12.5-16 tires on my truck now and they rub a little when I turn. I was going to step down to a 33" tire but I think its going to make the tires look super small on my truck. It looks like the previous owneradded a two inch spacer on the front allready.
What are my options as far as wheel spacers or offset wheels? Or any other ideas.

I have non stock wheel on my truck 16x8 with -6mm offset, they do not rub on the control arms like I have heard others say but they do rub at the lower edge of the inner fender well where there is a bit of a molded hump in the liner. This only happens at full lock when turning a tight corner. A longer set of control arms would stop this, but really it's not that bad there is no damage being done to tires or truck.

If that is the only spot it is rubbing and the tires are still good shape you could pic up a set of longer control arms for under $300 which would centre the wheel in the wheel well , which should stop the rubbing. I had 285/75/16 (33") tires on my truck before the 35" with a leveling kit they looked just fine only went with the 315/75/16 (35") for something different.

True enough, there is some killer deals on wheel and tires down south, up here it would be easier for me to spend the money on the control arms or build my own than dump the tires and rims, just spent $1300 on the new tires last month....
