Re: 5" front drop
if you dont like rubbing, either shave the inners way the hell down, or just take em out entirely. I'm thinkin a 45 or 50 series tire would fit, but I could be wrong, usually am :/

Re: 5" front drop
A lot will depend on the width of the rim and the Back Space, what size rim you gonna run?
