Yes (when using lowering blocks =/>2").

If a 15" tire goes flat but stays on the wheel w/1.5" blocks, it will still roll depending on the thread extended after the nut under the arm that secures the axle tube. It will also likely make some contact & damage the threads @ the end.

Beyond that 1.5", those U-bolt ends are making contact. Larger diameter wheels simply increase the scrub-line dimension allowing use of taller blocks w/o issue.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
