Tallest tire fitment on rear of Scamp

I replaced my xhvy springs with Mancini's, went with a mopar performance offset shackle kit, rolled my lips and tucked 295/50/15 BFG GT Quals in that sucker on a 8", 4.5" back space rim. No rubs but extremely close on the lips....until I hit a hard corner and marked a nice rub streak on them babies. Took those tires off right quick and went with 275/50/15 Nitto drag radials and haven't looked back. Love those tires.
I almost went the 295/50/15 Nitto's because the section width was smaller than the BFG's even though the tread width is the same but just decided to play it safe.
They don't fill out the wheel opening quite as well as the 295's but they surely are way more sticky than the BFG's.
