Even in the case of tires that don't rub, poorly matched components can cause dangerous issues.

Daimler-Chrysler had a little-publicized issue with 1st generation Durango and Dakotas, where the steering box would allow the driver to make very, very tight turns. Turning was limited only by suspension components. Downside is that the control arms would visibly flex on tight turns, and ball joints would fail in as little as 30K miles.

I would prefer that the gearbox provide the limits, not the suspension.
