Default tires

no, this isnt just another "whats size can i put on" thread. i took a gamble and went from the stock 33" ****year tires to a 295/60/20(35x12.50) nitto terra grappler. i dont have any rubbing issues in the wheel wells but they are rubbing the front upper control arms. is this going to be a problem? i have maybe 200 miles on them so far and the only thing ive noticed is a slight drop in gas mileage. do they make a small spacer...and am i going to need a set?

its an 08 1500 with a rough country 2.5"leveling kit.

I think places like pepboys sell small wheel spacer up to 1/4" that you could try. It may just space your wheel out just enough to where it doesn't rub.
