It's a series 2 gq patrol running 35's which currently measure 33.5. These are on 16 inch 60 series offset sunnies. Rear is rubbing on full flex on the inner guard and is chopping the tyres to peices.
Any suggestions to stopping this considering we don't want to run spacers and rims are almost brand new.

You have 3 choices.
1: The wheel has to move out.
2: the bit where its rubbing has to move in.
3: limit your up travel or flex.
You already know this. there is no easy way out.

Lower your bump stops.
