I don't think its down to lift, its all down to trimming as the wheel needs to fit inside the arch to flex. Then it needs to be able to steer when flexed.
I've recently lowered mine and plan on bigger tyres.

Cheers, I've a big belief in trying to keep it low but getting as much axle clearance as I can. That is why I'm trying to avoid a body lift.

My 235/75/15 special tracs rubbed with 4.5 suspension lift and 2" bodylift and trimmed arches when on lock.
So the plan now is to remove the seams at the rear of the arches and by the sill and maybe take an inch out of the sill.
So no matter how much lift you have, the tyres still need to fit inside the arch to flex and get full lock.

I've got 235/75/15 malatesta kobra on a 3" lift with non-corrected arms and it doesn't seem to rub when I'm offroad it does rub when I hit a left hand bend fast though but it's on the little plastic bit that's holding my plastic wing extension to the body
