Your right Keith, I guess I should have stated it different.

I have 15" wheels and I have a 4/5" drop. with 8" wide wheels and 255/60/15's on, I rub on tight turns. I put some 15x6.5" wheels on with 235/70/15's and now I no longer rub.

With another 1" of drop as the OP stated, My calculations in my head were that it would rub ALOT more.

sorry if I miss stated
