4/6 drop on 305/35/24s possible?

[6_2_drew]

My 07 escalade sitting on a 2/3.5 drop, +30 offset, 305/35/24 tires. I just got all the parts to do a 4/6 now, has anybody tried running 305s on a 4/6 or is smaller tires THAT necessary? Im ok with rubbing and beating in some metal, it already rubs now, just wondering if it would even be drivable. Mostly concerned about quarter panel eating the outside of rear tires. I'm impatient and tempted to throw it all in before i replace my brand new 305s, i know i really should just get smaller tires but i like the extra rim protection

if not, what HAS been done on 305s? 3/5? What are you low boys running?

a 305 simply doesn’t fit within the rear wheel well, even if you cut the lip off the quarter panel

Up front, a 305 will stock out way past the outside of the fender with a +30 offset

For reference, this is a 295 with a +31mm offset and 0° of camber. Granted the truck is a lot lower then 4/6 but the poke is still the same

I think we're all forgetting that wheel width plays as large a role as offset does...

HOW DID YOU GET 3.5" DROP FOR REAR? I DID A 2" SPINDLE IN FRONT AND COILS IN BACK. NOT HAPPY WITH REAR HEIGHT AFTER INSTALLATION...SEEMS HIGH STILL...NOT SURE IF ITS DUE TO ADJUSTABLE RODS FOR SENSORS IN REAR? I HAVE THEM BUT THEY WERE NOT INSTALLED.

Do some searching around. There's quite a bit more to a rear drop than just slapping the springs on.

There isn’t really much to do in the rear besides cutting bump stops until you get to ~5” of drop. After that it’s struggle street
