If you have a smart phone then here is a how too on uploading pictures. Same basic theory applies with computer only slightly different.

That's not a "drop" problem. The wheels are the wrong offset. Way too much negative offset, and that makes them stick out past your fenders, and swing into your fenders when you turn.

FWIW, those wheels are intended for a lifted truck.

You could get some shorter tires, maybe a 275/45R20. Then your fender gap gets bigger, and you'll want to lower the truck more. Then it may end up rubbing again......

The entire time I thought it was a rubbing problem in the back, since you mentioned leveling it.

Definitely offset as mentioned, you want a wheel with 30mm or more of offset. The more offset, the more the wheels sit in towards the center of the truck. Factory wheels usually have 31mm offset.
