Default 32.5 inch tire and a 2/4 drop?

I tried to search this but came up empty handed so hope I am not asking something that has been covered before. I want to put a 2/4 drop on my CC with a 32.5" tall tire. The wheels are 9 inch wide with 5.5 inch backspaceing. Will the tires safely fit a 2/4 drop without hitting the fender lips when just sitting or when hitting a bad bump in the road?

i haven't had any experience with fitting a tire that size on that drop, but i think that tire would definatly cause rubbing with the fenders.
maybe others will chime in.

Your backspacing isn't optimal, so you will need a shorter than normal tire so you don't have to worry about the fender lips. What size tire is that anyways?
