What do you mean by "flip the wheels"?

Have you modified your rig at all? Where is it rubbing?

My guesss is inside out, (bolt the outside of wheel against hub). This will not work with most rims unless they are designed for this.

You can't just flip your wheels the other way, the mounting surface that presses against the hub or hat on the brake rotor is flat, and designed to hold the wheel flat and true against the surface, the outside or shiny side, isn't. Besides most stock Jeep wheels are centered offset anyway so flipping them wouldn't do you any good. I would strongly reccomend you just by a set of offset wheels and do it correctly.
