Unhappy tires hitting, advice please. 33x12.5x15

hello to all, brand new member here. i just bought a 2001 jeep tj, 6, auto. the guy i bought it from put 33x12.5x15 on it on jeep alloy rims. the problem i am having is that on full lock turn the tires hit the lower control arms. i already have spacers on it. i see so many jeeps with similar setups and i could use some advice to correct my issue. thanks a ton

I wud ask what lift u have? I have a 4" lift, but offset rims 4.3/4" offset, okay u have spacers, I don't like them nor have every had any. They will still hit on a full turn to max, just remember not to go all the way another thing there are stopper if u look underneath, they can be adjusted outward, which shud be enuff to stop the rub.Do the simple adjusting of the stoppers first and see how that works for you.

Thanks Jon..... i got under the rig and found that the previous owner had removed the stoppers. just happened to have a couple of the right size bolts and the problem is solved. thanks again

You should have spacers on there too.
Doesn't the tires rub on the springs or the body?
