There is plenty of clearance at the top of the arch, but there is a bulge in the liner at the rear where the metal body panel and plastic bumper cover come together and it rubs there quite often. So far I have only contacted the liner, but there is a protruding flange of metal from the body panel that would likely make contact on a large bump under load.
Fortunately I bought the tires from the local Firestone store, and I am pretty sure they will let me exchange to the 275's.

I removed the plastic bump in question. No more rubbing. I am running 1.8 camber out back, heights are different because of the corner balance.
