What's that sposed to mean?
When LT tires are installed on a RV a larger size is required to meet the load requirements. This could be the source of the clearance problems.
The LT tires are also a different compound that increases the traction to the road. This could cause the larger tire to rub during a turn from the tire not sliding as required.
The larger tire is also a lever that flexes the axle during a turn, longer lever, more axle flex, more tire movement.
Overall it's not a good idea to change the tire size from the OEM's selection.
