Re: Safe clearance between tire and bedside?

I don't imagine the bed will move, I'm worried about suspension shift under load or cornering. I think I may just migrate to a shorter tire to get my section width down a bit. I was shooting for a 28" diameter on a 16" rim (for the factory look) but the backspacing to get the 1.5" of clearance I'd like isn't something I'm comfortable with
