I had 275/55 on a 3/5 drop and had rubbing issues up front. switched to 275/ 45 and no issued unless I am going very fast with a huge dip in the road. I think if you went to a 255 or a bit smaller this would eliminate the the rubbing as mine was just at the edge so it was more of a width issue.

+1 on the 275/45s they wont rub. I'm gonna go to 255/50s when I put new tires on my truck and hope everything clears.
