Here is the thing with 31 inch tires. If you run them on stock rims, then you can stuff them and only rub a little on the rear fender flares. You get full travel of your suspension when you wheel. The minute you take those tires and put then on after market rims that move then out about 2" you loose a lot of suspension travel unless you start trimming fenders. Rubbing on the LCA at full turn is really just a minor annoyance and doesn't harm anything really.
