Must be - mine is a 2016 model. I removed those cheap looking plastic fender flares, but with or without them I do have a good 2-3" of clearance all around the 15" tire and wheel.
Surprised me as well, because I ordered a shackle lift kit and fully intended on installing it. But once I mounted the wheels and tires and saw how much clearance I still had, I put some blue painters tape up inside the narrowest spots and took it for a test pull and even attacked a few speed bumps on purpose and it never came close to rubbing the wheel well.
That picture I posted has some deep shadows so it's hard to see the wheel area. I'll take another tomorrow in better light and closer up so you can see how much clearance there is.
