I had a slight rub on the inside of my subframe fitting bigger tires to my Jeep and I also wanted a slightly wider wheel base.

The tire would rub when turning the wheels a full turning circle. This is fixed now and it looks better with the wider stance.

I think it looks better with the wheels filling the guards more and even though they were only 1.25 inch thick it made quite a difference making it more stable cornering.
