Sorry about the picture quality, these are taken with my mobile phone.........

My 02 5/7 on 265/35/22 hankooks, 22x9.5 wheel(air shocks at 0 psi)
The fenders are rolled on the bed and they never rubbed. The front rubbed a little on dips in the road. They are sold and were replaced with 18" Eagle 219s

My SS lowered 6/8 on 285/35/22 Sumitomos, 22x10 SS reps (air shocks at 150 psi)
The front rubs at full lock on the inner fender on the passenger side. The bed also hits on the 14 bolt rear diff so I have a bit of rake (which I HATE)

I sold this one in 2009 but it was a 3/5 drop on 22x9 KMC SS with a 285/35/22 Nittos
Didnt rub at all and was about to be lowered 5/7 when I was offered decent money for it.
