It makes contact with the back of the inner fender in front. We also run a 16x8 Rim. https://www.treadwright.com/c-22-285-70r17.aspx

They work really well with our 4.10's and I'm out 5% on the odometer. The added lift from the factory helps for clearance on the front, I just had to trim my front flaps a little. Also, I highly recommend these Michelin LTX AT2's: they are the narrowest 285 you can get, they are very quiet on the highway and the mileage is unreal. I'm over 120,000 miles on these and am just about hitting the wear bars. I'll easily get another 10 or 20 out of them. You get what you pay for though, they don't give them away.

I went with the BFGs 285s .. they had to order them, I will post pics when they are on... My Goodyear Wranglers (in pic) went 66K... Video Little Red Wagon Indy Nats,BurnoutContest

Yeah, I got 63 out of mine before the typical goodyear BS set in: cupping and out of balance. That's a goodyear for you. Funny, never even did a wheel alignment and threw new Michelins on and they are wearing perfect............right to the bitter end. Notice also there's no weights needed: they balanced out perfect with just a few grams on the inside of the rim.
