Default 4/6 drop w/ 265/50/20

Im running centerline 20x8.5 w/ a 5.4" BS and BFG KDW 265/50/20's, which are 30.4 inches tall. I know the rears will clear because my fenders are rolled. Would the fronts be ok, or would it rub?

Thanks.

The wheels is what will make the rub on turns and bumps while turning. The hieght will cause the tires to hit the fenders. My truck has a 275/30/24 with a Bonspeed 24x10 and 7.5 inch of BS and they dont rub anywhere, except when turning up a steep drive way or on the interstate and the truck bottoms out. They are 30.5 inches tall, if I quite driving it everyday I will very likely pull the inner fenders.

It will rub; 275/45 is the max with that drop.

It will hit the top of the fender well going over dips
The back is no problem,295/45/20 is a good fit for the back

Judging by your pictures though you sit about 2" higher than I do and I have a 4/6 drop.
