Wheel Adapters Sequoia Wheels or Level 8's

Quick question for you guys running a similar setup or wheel adapters. The Nitto Grappler Trails on the Sequoia wheels (15mm offset) are rubbing the rear frame during sharp turns. These are my primary off road combo. I've attached a photo. I've got Toyo AT's on the Level 8's with a -10 offset and haven't had a problem with them aside from bumping up against the mud flap once in a while. I love the wheel/tire combos on both. It doesn't bother me too much but I need to be careful when I'm cutting the wheel too sharp.

If it were you would you swap the tires over to the Level 8's or would you consider installing adapters? Just so you know, I'm not a fan of adding adapters and changing the geometry of the front end. Other options, thoughts?

I know what some of you are thinking and no...giving them away to you is not an option... :)

If you don't want to use spacers stay with the level 8's. I don't need spacers with TE wheels but I did with the 4th gen sport wheels. I left the spacers on because I like the look of the wider stance & stability off-road & didn't want to cut my ARP wheel studs shorter.
 
Pick your poison man... You run spacers and the wheels will swing a bit wider so you'll need to smash the firewall more. You leave them as is you rub the frame.

IMO the frame rubbing isn't really a big deal and it wont rust until you move to a bigger tire because every time you turn you'll scrub it off with rubber you wipe the contaminants. I'm running the MK6 16x8's -10 with 315's cooper STT pro's and I just let them rub the frame since spacers would mean I need almost an entirely new firewall... (I do have LT sittin in the basement tho... :eyebrows:)
 
If you can, I would just get new wheels if you can. It's just one less thing to worry about. I plan on picking up some Pro Comp 7069s when DT runs their sale.
