You're gonna rub for sure, when turning at least, and if you are turning to go up an almost flat driveway, you'll rub the fenders. If you lower it, then even moreso. You could get real "trick and have some mild flares done that would prevent that.

Teaguer should know better, I think he has 17's, well maybe 16's.

If you run 17's with like 40 series tires, you're gonna beat the hell out of those rims if you hit anything and ride will be rough.

Personally, I wouldn't do any more than 15".
