Default need help on 4/6 w/20's

I already did a search and couldnt find anything. The problem is that I bought a 4/6 drop, but I have 275/45/20's, will this drop be ok??? I wont mind if I cant crank the wheel to full lock, my concern is if the tire is too tall for this drop.
Thanks alot guys, Ohh p.s. Its a reg cab long bed.

It all depends on the backspacing on your wheels. Do you know what the backspacing is? If you don't know the backspacing, offset will work too. That tire will fit with the drop since its about the same size as the stockers (height), but the position of the wheel will determine if it tucks inside the fender.

actually you're fine.i'm doing a 4/6 drop and had the same tire size before like yours but changed to a 265/35/22's. anyway the height difference is only 2cm . 275/45/20 will be jst right. actually i found out that 285/35/22's would fit a 4/6 drop. thought u guys might wanna know.

What wheels are they? Most sites usually post the backspacing/offset on the website.

Backspacing is key. For instance, if I were to put a 275/45/20 tire on my wheels it would not tuck and would hit the fenders. Yes, the 275/45/20 tire will fit, but if the wheels do not have the correct backspacing, the wheels will not tuck inside the fenders.
