what do u do if ur tires rub? My rear tires are 295/35/18's BF goodrich, It was rubing so badly till I got wheel spacers! Now it rubs only at hard turns on the inside, I have heard u can beat there but I don't wanna beat something different. So I need sugestions or a website link that shows how to beat 
Thanks in advance

That's what I did, beat the inner fender with a BFH and reundercoat. You can't really even tell. I also switched to rod ends on my APHB and bumped up my rear tire pressure a bit to have less side wall flex. This is all if it's rubbing on the inner well. If it's rubbing on the outer quarter, you can roll the fender lips, get a stiffer sway bar and rear ride height adjusters. I had to do all of this to get my GSD3's not to rub. I swear, these GSD3 315's are more like 335's, they are huge...
