You rub up front? If so, get a measurement from fender to the middle of your hub and verify it's a 5" drop. I haven't heard of anyone having issues with a 245/50/20, but most run a 275/40 or 245/45

28.7"-245/45
29.6"-yours
28.7"-275/40

You can go lower, but you need to cut springs and sacrifice the ride pretty much.

Yea it already rides like crap I think I'll try different tires then if that doesn't work I'm going to start cutting stuff or make inner fenders I just can't lift it it looks too good.
