Any flex what-so-ever is going to result in your tire tearing the inner fender liner off when it contacts the rear part near the firewall. You can get ahead of this by removing the plastic liner and either cutting or bending the protruding pinch weld (seam) that is behind the plastic.
The pictures you posted,
is that with your tire pointed strait ahead? what happens when you turn full lock?
I full understand wanting to run larger tires, but at the expense of drive-ability?? You should always choose function over form.
FYI - Im running long arms with the axle pushed 1.5" forward and i still had to remove the plastic wheel well liner and trim the pinch weld to clear 37"s at full stuff, lock to lock.

3in progressive springs
So before I cut my whole fender off to gain more tire clearance. I was able to run 37’s no problem on just 3 in progressive springs off Dodgeoffroad. Yea I need new lower control arms but it works. The truck can still flex good with stock arms. I think if I went back to a leveling kit I could still run the 37’s to keep the truck as low as possible while crawling and still not rub. If you want to see what I’m talking about, it’s on my instagram. Photos on my phone won’t load up.
