Tire size for dropped trucks

[Alex]

I have a 2008 that is lifted with a RCD 6" kit, I am dropping it down with stock spindles with drop keys and 2" shackles in the rear. My biggest question is what size tire can I get away with? I currently have 20x12 -44 with 35x1250x20, I want to run my 20x12 but I know I will rub quite drastically and I don't want to cut up my fenders. Any recommendations? Thanks!

That's definitely not a good wheel offset for lowering but should look pretty mean. Maybe a 305/40/20 or 45 series. It's going to depend on where you set the final ride height.

Would I have better luck if i were to switch to 20x10? I'm not worried about the stance portion of it i'm more worried of rubbing.

Yes that would be much better. 20x10 with positive offset.
