how much rubbing?

Just wondering how much rubbing I might expect from a 3/5 DJM drop on 24x10 (305/35/24) 30mm offset.

oh by the way it's a 06 mark lt with the shorter bed if that makes a difference.

any input would be appreciated!

that would be 32.5" tire height. I run 305/30/26's which are like 33.2" with a 1.25"front 3"rear drop.
No rub at all lock to lock however the wheels I am running are shaved by lexani just for our f150's offset.
To answer our question you will rub . You may be able to heat and stretch the wheel well liners . However if the wheels are a generic offset you may REALLY have issues. I would suggest a 305/30/24 tire and at most a 2-4 drop. That is if you actually want to have a fully functioning truck. Believe me I have had several drops and numerous sets of 24's and 26's on my two f150's. Slammed may look COOL but is completely useless on the street.

I have 32" tall tire on a 3/5 drop.
I'm no where 305 on 10'' wheel. though. I have the 275 on stock 20".

I lost a bit of turning radius, but not much.

But I can't attack corner too fast or it will rub on top of the fender well.
Same thing on "big" bump or dip in the road.

30mm offset on 10'' isn't enough to have the wheel sit insider the fender lip if I'm not mistaken.

i have a 3/4 drop on my 08 4wd with 305 40 23 on 23x10 wheels and have zero issues. a 305 35 24 tire is .2" shorter than mine. i have 3" beltech coils and they are a stiffer spring and i belive thats what keeps me from rubbing. knowing that a 2wd sits about an inch lower than a 4wd, i would say you could do a 2" coil drop up front and be fine. i have pictures in my album.
