Default Stock Disco/wheeling

Those of you that are bone stock (suspension/tire wise) and have discoed and wheeled your Jeep, did your tires rub the wheel well during flex? I has been suggested that it will and does. Thus causing potential removal of the fender(s)

The setup I want to run (lifted/larger tires) will give me a half inch more wheel well clearance over the stock ride. Thats why I ask.

Bone stock. No rubbing here either. (Well, other than a fender flare on a rock.)

Damn I love those flexing pics where the wheel tucks up into that fender well

It is going to be my mission that within the next week I get the tucked wheel flex look picture of mine
