With your lift kit and spc upper control arms you shouldn't be rubbing. Find an alignment shop (ones who work on lifts) that can pull the caster about an inch forward so that you clear the body mount without having to cut anything. We do these all day long at toytec. Let me know if you need help

Your rubbing is down to the spacers......pure and simple. Get 4+ caster without spacers and you are good to go. With spacer you need the chop.....and just hit the cuts with Rustoleum and you don't need to worry about rust.

-12 offset plus 1.25 inch spacers puts you in the neighborhood of -41 offset.

So even if you move the caster forward to the max, you will still rub in odd places either when reversing or turning if you move up to 285s....

So your options are:

remove spacers and keep your -12 rims

or

keep spacers and do a bmc

or

get new rims.

I personally love the -offset look, so i vote keep spacers and do bmc.
