How bad are they scraping?? Have you rolled your guards yet? You could be running the wrong offset on your rims, don't know what the right offset is though. Someone here will know.

you shouldnt need spacers for 30s unless you have some wacky positive offset rims.
where are they scraping? on the chassis or body?
Give the wheelarch seams a good hammer bash.

oh and fix it before you go for a wheel, or your tyres will get raped.

sounds like your running standard offset wheels. f100 offset will stop the scrubbing but will possibly need flare extensions.

Spacers are not the answer, what brand are your rims?
I have never seen 30s scrape on leafs but i have only ever seen them on 15x7 speedy or king rims which have around a -14 offset.

f100 rims are not all created equal.
You need rims with a negative offset, which meant they move the tyre away from the chassis.
Speedy or King are two very common and inexpensive examples, which would most likely fix your problem.
Cheaper/safer/more readily availible than spacers.

any tyre or wheel store should be able to help with the rims you need. realistically if yours are only rubbing on full lock on the springs i wouldnt worry too much about it but thats just me

Any tyre shop will have what you want.
Speedy Desert rats in 15x7 should work for you and probably cost about $60 each, ask them to fit them for that price too... a good tyre place will.
shop around

i have 2inch suspension and 2 inch body but i haven't lifted my front bar yet and it scrapes with my 30s all the time so i took it off.
so a 2inch body lift would fix it wouldn't guys??
new rims always look good anyway.

It's a big cat, you'd have to be strong.
