07 liberty with a frakin lift, I have ruby wheels with 245/75/16 and have no rubbing issues but when i install my stock 235/65/17 on the factory wheels i rub on my passenger side swaybar? any ideas why? just had another alinment done and everything is perfect. I wanted to put on 245/65/17 for my new winters but worry they might rub more?

the 17's have larger back spacing ~6 inches or more offset(42-44ish) then the 16 x 7 wheels you currently have. My 17's did the same thing before i replaced them with a set 16's. Its not you, its the wheels.
Solution is live with it, buy spacers, or buy new rims. Also if your buying new winter tires, 16's are about 50 bucks cheaper a tire where I am for comparable diameter.

Should be fine the rubbing is minor, just paint your sway bar every spring and stay off the steering lock as much as possible.
Just don't turn so tight and it'll be fine
look at where your steering wheel is when its hitting and just remember to not cut that close
