But what is your backspace? It makes a BIG difference. If the wheel sits further out to the fender, you can't turn without hitting the lower corner. With a 2" backspace I can't imaging clearing anything taller than 26".
That's a pretty common operation. It usually happens with wider front tires, because of how far out they have to sit. But with a 2" backspace your skinny tires will sit very close to the fenders, so, you will likely have the same issue.
