i had 18" with 35 series tires on my bucket and they didnt rub.... when i wrecked my can the suspension on the passanger side was bent in... so i replaced everything.... but now with 17" the passanger side tire rubs on the inside wheel wall..... dont know why....... and i was slammed...... you probably have some really big swampers on those rims....

Won't the off-set of the rim matter for clearence too? Camber? Not just rim and tire size.
