I doubt it. It might be the quad shock your hitting? During the DAY jack up the car and look at what its hitting.

it shouldnt rub
my buddy has 10.5 inch DD bullits w/ 315/35/17s on his, it clears just fine on each side
maybe the wheels are offset deep enough
a hub spacer will fix this problem

no problems, if you know what you're doing
