It depends on the YJ and the trails I guess.
I have seen some that could stuff 10.5's under there with minimal
rubbing and others that would peel rubber off the tire with 4 people
inside.
Rims could be a factor there likely as you mention.

I guess that I should mention that the one with the 31-10.50's lives
in SoCal, is in the Navy, and never hardly takes his off road. I do
think that he'd be OK on the trails we usually ride out here in AR,
but for anything with any flex required, he'd prolly cut them up some,
or loose his flairs.
I've had mine flexed to the point of hanging a rear tire in the air
and the 30x9.50's have never even touched the flairs.
