You probably need to get a lower profile tire in the front. I have 2.5 drop spindles and 2" lower springs. No rubbing with 265/50/15. However, I'm going to change to 275/60/15 in front to gain some additional ground clearance. The 275s are only 1/4" wider than the 265s. The 60 series is 1.75" taller than the 50 series and won't rub.
