I ordered 2 inch wheel spacers for the front and rear of my 2021 Rebel. Installed everything, patted myself on back until the next morning and I went to store. They rubbed when I turned into a parking space. I put it into off road mode and no rubbing.
Fast forward to when the time came to back into my driveway. Even in off road mode they rubbed. I immediate took them off as I had a road trip later that day. I could not tell where they were rubbing. I am assuming they rubbing the hard plastic mudflap? Going with my assumption, can you remove that hard plastic mudflap and install the rubber type from mopar? Part number 82216217AA. From the picture though, it looks like these go over top of the existing plastic ones.

I have the 2 inch on the back right now and it looks decent but would really like to put them back on the front. I do not want to remember to put it into off road mode everytime I pull into a parking lot though. I don't mind the rubbing if its just the mudflap.
 
I would assume you can swap the mud flaps but not 100% sure. But there have been numerous members with the same issue when going with 2" spacers up front. They rub. I went with 1.5" up front and 2" in the rear. Especially since the front track is already about a half inch wider anyway. I haven't had any issues with rubbing.
 
Simplest answer is probably the best.. Thanks. I will just buy a set of 1.5" and do a give away on my youtube video of the install of the 2"...
thanks
