Right now my truck is at like 5.5/8 drop and I'm running a 245/45r20 up front and it rubs pretty bad. I'm minitubbed and all..still rubs. Looking for insight for a proportionate looking smaller tire. Considering going with a 275/35 up front..but I think that small of a sidewall will look stupid. Most research I've done came up with running a 275/40 on a minitub and I'll be fine but I've tried that too and it doesn't work lol. Any insight bros? :malik:
Fak. I had 275/40s at 7" up front it it just barely grazed the fenders on dips. My front track width is narrowed a little though so I guess that made the difference.
A 235/45 is .4" shorter and narrower than what you have now. But it sounds like an odd ass size and will probably be hard to find lol. But other than that it looks like your next option is gonna be 275/35s. 285/35s are wider than what you have so you won't want that.

245/45 and 275/40 are the same height
I wouldnt go with 275s at all, the width isnt gonna help u any....245/40 would be 1" shorter than a 245/45 (28.7 vs 27.7") and shouldnt be that hard of a tire to find. Even if its a P rated tire, should be fine to run up front...ur not gonna be doing any heavy towing either. 245/40 will still have a 4" sidewall, btw...not bad at all, imo.
275/35 is 0.1" shorter than 245/40, btw....i just think that the extra width (1.2") might be part of the rubbing issue too. So my vote goes to 245s or 255s (I run 255/45 on 4" drop n no rubs 95% of the time)
