Yeah I'm hoping its not any of the suspension that's being rubbed the tires are only 11.5 inches wide here's hoping its just plastic stuff. Lol ill be looking later this afternoon ill post back anything I find. If I don't see anything I'll put chalk on the tires and do a little rub and see where the chalk came off.

Update to all u may want to know. After work I looked at the jeep and had a friend check out the tire as I turned the wheel and nothing. Only the air dam looked close so I drove around the parking lot slow and nothing. Then I backed up and when I turner full right there it was the rubbing noise. So my buddy looked at it while I slowly let off the breaks and yup it's the air dam. But only when I have the wheel turned full right won't do it left and the lugs on the tire actually lift the dam a bit then drop it back down. So problem solved with a bit of light dremeling.

Also no body wants to add to the procal question. Worth it or not with my setup?

I think the Procal is worth the money. It's not much more than paying a dealership to program the new tire size. It will get the odometer corrected so you don't have any warranty issues.

A procal is always a good buy

You're probably off a couple miles an hour. I wouldn't worry about it.
