Default going lower will tires rub?

I currently have a 2008 Gmc crewcab. I currently have 2 inch Mcauley spindles with 2 inch shackles in rear with blocks removed for a 3ish drop. I'm thinking about going to a 1 inch drop spring and a drop leaf in the rear.Will my 275/55/20 tires rub with factory wheels?

so essentially a 3/5 drop or so?

you can actually go 4/7 and just trim and be ok.

at 3/5 you will be ok.

Cool wanted to make sure. I was running 295/50/20's on my current drop and they rubbed slightly on factory wheels...a ton with a aftermarket set. Didn't want to have to deal with that thanks! Any suggstions on the rear drop? I have a set of 1 ton motorhome bags I may or may not install since I still tow what do ya think?
