I've run a 295/45/18 on 6" bs wheel up front on a 3" drop. I plan to run the same wheel/tire on a 4" drop very soon and don't foresee any problems.

I'm running a 20x10.5 with a 295/40/20 and I dont have any rubbing problems. I did loose a little bit of turning radius though. The Ridetech Strongarms are wider than the stock control arms and rub at full lock so I had to weld on a taller steering stop. Other than that though they fit just fine.

Do you have a picture ? What is your offset/back space ?

Not sure on the offset as I bought custom barrels for the wheels. I'll take a picture this weekend
