What is the lowest static drop I can use without rubbing? Do I need to c-notch the frame?

General Grabber UHP 275/45-20 (front 29.7 in tall)
General Grabber UHP 285/50-20 (rear 31.2 in tall)

p.s. my rims are o back-order from summit. I have been waiting for over 2 months. Torq Thrust ST's 20x8.5

Its all going to depend on your offsets...

Hard to say until you get the wheels mounted. I would guess even if your front off set is correct you will probably rub the inner fender at anything lower than say 3.5"-4" in the front with those tires?

Yeah I know what you are saying..the backspace is 5.5 inhes (20x8.5). I know I am going to have to run spacers. I was just asking so I could order any parts needed before my rims get here. I have a 2"/4" drop on it now but that was with 27 inch all tires.
