You might have to step down to a 40 series tire. those wheels are like 1/4" taller than factory. How much room do you have now???

4/6 is the lowest.. you will have little to zero fender gap.. i just went 285/40/22 on a 4/6 drop and its perfect imo.. but i like a little fender gap...

If u want to stay with same tire go with 3/5 if u go with 40 series then 4/6. I played around back n forth with my drop and 3/5 is where I'm at now. I'm running 305/30/26

It also depends the offset of the rims. I was on a 4/6 drop with Boss 22's with 305/40's and had very minor rubbing issues.
