Default Bigger tires rubbing sway bar

I just put some 265X70X18 Fulken's on my JKU. When I turn full to the right the front tire on drivers side hits the sway bar. anyone else have this issue? Haven't checked turning to the left to see if the right front tire hits the sway bar.

Do you have wheel spacers on your stock rims? You might need them!!
Sometimes if it only hits on the one side you could loosen up your swaybar and center it more to see. Not always swaybars are mounted perfectly in the center.

Not really that big of an issue, I just won't turn full so it won't hit. It just barely touches. I was just curious if anyone else had this problem. No spacers.
