what is the drop .. with those size tires u should be alright i had coilovers and had it slammed and it didn't rub and i had air with 18's i could slam it on the ground and still no rub couldn't turn the tires but no rub. might want to roll fenders just for extra clearance. 18's isn't as bad of a ride as everyone thinks lil bumpier but watch potholes not the worst though..
