Default Another Tire Question??

I have a 2006 Dodge 1500 4x4 HEMI... I installed the 2.5" leveling kit from top gun customz on my truck but i still do not understand how that is goin to help fit a bigger tire under it.. The top a-arm at the top of the tire almost touches from the factory.. I can barely fit my finger between the tire and that top arm.. So how can you get a bigger tire on the truck?? They came out from the factory this way.. Any body else havin issues with this.....Thanks..

Aftermarket rims with a largerbackspacing would help clear bigger meat...
I have a 4" suspension lift and clear 35's with a ton of room to spare utilizing Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels with a backspacing of 4.5".
