I'd think you'd almost have to rub the firewall before you'd hit a body mount... But I could be wrong. How far does his wheel/tire stick out past the fender? Most people rub in three places;
The frame, the sway bar, and the back outer edge of the front fender.
Never heard of rubbing a body mount, but I never rule anything out.
BTW hows that bracket that was in the way of your front diff coming out working for ya?

You could always go with a narrow tire. Like a 33x10.50. The slimmer tire would be lighter and maybe not hurt MPG and power as much, and also wouldn't rub as bad. Plus they could be mounted on factory wheels instead of needing 8 or 10 inch wide wheels for the 12.50 width.
Plus a slimmer tire is better in the mud. Why do you think mud runners run the tall narrow tractor tires? Probley would do better on slick asphalt also.
