    If you do the 275-45 your front tires will be a little bit taller then your rears. I would do a 275-40, it would fit better. I have a 2.5"/4" drop on my truck

    yeah a 275/40 would put me .6" shorter then the 295/40's. Might be the way to go. Thanks for the input

    I rubbed slightly with a 275/45/20 up front on my truck. 4/6 djm drop, 20x8.5 wheel +28 offset. I lacked about 1/4" from clearing the factory fenders. Original owner cut the rear quarters to clear the 275/45. I still run the 275 out back but a 245/45 up front. I probably could have been okay with a 255/45 or so tire up front.

    did it rub only when turning and/or going straight and over bigger bumps?

    OK after researching a ton and gathering all of yours advice, I'm thinking 275/40's is the way to go. Ordering today, wish me luck and many thanks to you all

    it only rubbed when going over bumps at high speed (ie Oklahoma's and Wichita Falls' crappy roads)

    think my offset is only like a +15 or something.. But it wasnt bad it was just a touch every now and then, if i was lower than 6 it would eat the tire up lol
