What size tires do you want to run? 225 in front and 255 out back? I'd be more worried that you may need to roll the fender lip than the wheel contacting anything inboard.
Tires I am 99% sure I will run 225/45 17 up front and 245/40/17 in the rear. Rear tire width should be near 9.3", which would work great. A friend was suggesting a small trimming of that edge of the perch. But I wonder if you or anyone have experience with this.
