It's not really the height of the tire that causes them to rub as it is the width. I could've fit a 35" tall tire on my truck bone stock, but anything wider than an 11" would rub on the UCA's due to the backspacing of the factory wheels.

Now with my 2.5" level and wheels with 4.5" backspacing, I only rub on full lock if I've got the suspension flexed any, and this is only on the wheel well liners and not the UCA's.

Now my buddy has an '01 2500 with a 6" lift and 35x12.5's and his tires hit that mounting point of the fender and body underneath the door
