How close is your rear UCA to your tire with 35s and stock wheels? Rubicons

Can anyone tell me what the space is between the 315/70/17 tires(stock wheels) and the rear UCAs on a Rubicon?

I wish I had measured this before I put in my RK 2.5" lift in. It turns out the RK control arms are straight while the factory control arms are bent inward for tire clearance.

With my RK lift I have 1/4" between the tire and the rear upper control arm and it rubs at full flex. I really want to keep the tire under the fender to abide by the laws here.

If the stock rear UCA has clearance because of the bend then I am thinking of purchasing the MetalCloak rear UCAs(they are adjustable length and bend inward!)

So I put my stock rear UCAs back on and I went from 1/4” clearance to 1 1/4” inch clearance. If metalcloak control arms are bent as much as the stock one then I think I am going to switch all my control arms to metalcloak.
