Checked all my fuses because I've come to the conclusion that the previous owner(s) are/were really lazy and/or stupid. I found 3 that were blown and 3 that were the wrong fuse altogether.

Cant afford to downsize to 11.5 which b best. My jeep is also geared low for more torque, so imma run some wheel adapters to extend em prevent rubbing. Hopefully will work ok and not to much on my hubs. Will post pics if I getten

How much back spacing does your wheels have? I don't rub on any suspension parts just the wheel well.

Backspacing, bumptops, and steering stops. You shouldn't be rubbing.
