wide tires up front with 6 inch drop
Wondering if any have put 295/50/15s up front with a 6" or more drop with either a 10" or 8" wide rim. I know you can run this size if your truck is dropped with only springs and maybe lowered control arms. This combo will probably give you a 4" to even a 5" drop up front. There are rubbing issues to worry too for sure especially if the backspacing is not the right one. I have 15x8 rallies and wondering if it'll work. Post pics if you have something similar. Thanks in advance.

Re: wide tires up front with 6 inch drop
Well, since it seems no one has tried this, I was able to get a hold of a 295/50/15 BFG and mounted it up on the rally rim I had. I bolt it up and it seems it'll work with a little rolling of the fenders. Since I had already trimmed my control arms, they were not an issue. I bounced up and down on the bumper and the tire never hit the fender. This is even with the wheel turned. I really like the look and might have to find or buy another BFG to run wide tires all the way around. As always, here are some pics. Let me know what you guys think.

Re: wide tires up front with 6 inch drop
That's the size tire I'm currently running up front with no rubbing. There is plenty of clearance between the tire and fender well.
