Default wheel spacers with 37s/4.5" bs/3.5 lift?

Have you guys ever needed will spacers with 37 inch tires, 4.5 inch backspace, 3.5 inch lift? I am getting some rubbing at full lock. Running Mickey Thompson MTZs. Considering a 1" spacer.

I run 37x13.50 tires with 4.25 back spacing and 3.5" with no rubbing. However, it's more to do with your steering than the lift. Add a washer or 2 to the steering stops and you shouldn't rub turning both ways. Unless that 1/4" plays a role in it, but I don't think so.

Absolutely agree. Try to adjust your steering stop before spending any money. You probably only have minor rub right now correct?

Thanks!
