285/70/17 with 1.75" lift?

Well finally got around to doing the Bilsteins this morning. Here's a few pictures of the struts. It's raining today so no installing them on the runner. These were some SR5 struts I found on C/L so I could have them ready just to swap out.

The swap went fairly easy since I have a hydraulic compressor:

Took me about 20 min.

I set them at 1.75"

Something to take note of is that the springs seem to have a color coding? Whte and orange is on your passenger side, and white and green is on the drivers side.

I have just a tiny bit of rub at full lock.

What does full lock mean? (noob. sorry.)

EDIT: Apparently, full lock means the steering wheel fully cranked. I was confused because I was also researching differential locks and couldn't see how a "full lock" would apply to that or why it would make the tires rub!

I'm at 1.75 bilstein front / 3/4" cornfed spacer rear with 285 Nitto TG G2. I had minor rubbing on the front bumper and on the rear mud flaps after the lift. Trimmed a small amount of plastic on the front bumper and removed the mud flaps. That seemed to fix any rubbing issues.
 
Is it the width or the height that causes rubbing on a 285? I am looking at 255s 75 or 80 and getting confused where the rub comes from.
