Planning on rocking the stockies with dog dish hubcaps. Current tire size is 30x9.5R15. What size tires would work with a 4" drop up front?

I saw that. Just seems like they would be way too big and rub...

Ok. Thanks for your help. I might go a touch smaller just to be safe.

Well the last vehicle I modded was a 95 Jetta. So those tires don't look so small to me. I ran 205/40 on a 17x7. Nice looking truck. What is your suspension setup? Rear wheel and tire specs? Did you have to do any modifications to fit that wide of a rear? Thanks for all your help.
