I have that same size tire, but...

Every tire mfr. actual size is different-even for the identical tire size.

Also, what offset rims do you have? That will make a big difference. Mine are 17x7, 42 offset. Zero rubs. I am at stock height. The tire (Falken Ziex512) is real close to the rear swing arm, but no rubbing.

Maybe more info will help others to help you.

Yes we need more info to give an answer. When I had that size tire with 1.5 inch drop and the 10MM One Ton rear spacers I would rub slightly on the pass side front wheelwell just on the outer edge of the tire. I have since removed the spacers and am running the TRD 18' with 215/35/18 and do not anticipate any more rubbing after everything is put back on for the spring and summer.
