I ran a 305/50 20 Nitto drag radial in the rear of my 4/6 dropped C10 On a 20x10 with 5.75 backspace.

Tire Diameter:
32.05 in.
Section Width:
12.44 in.

When for example the driver side would articulate the axle up over something on just that side the inside of that tire would rub slightly on the wheel well about 3/4 of the way up on the inner side. Not enough to hear/notice but enough to leave a rub mark any taller or if the tread was more aggressive it could have been a problem.

Current tire is a 28x12 15 on a 15x10 with 5.5 backspace It comes nowhere near rubbing.

Tire Diameter:
28.00 in.
Section Width:
12.10 in.

If you stay around 31" tall or less, section width around 12.25" or less and keep your backspace around 5.5" with a 6-7" drop should fit fine without rubbing in the rear.

The front is a completely different story.

This is a fleet side a step box may be different.

How low are we talking? Considering you can't clear a 33 on a stock height 2wd in the front without big block springs and it still rubs then...not gonna happen
