Just put these on, I had 28" wheels on before and these seem just so small now. I really need to order a drop kit from norcal. What do you guys think would be the best drop without worrying about snow in the winter? I am in Buffalo after all...

I modded my fender well when I put the 28s on so I shouldn't have any rub. I'm just worried about dropping too low and affecting the abilities in snow during the winter here. I'm thinking the kit Steve Meade used on his escalde would be good for me.

What did you do to your fender well? Any photos of it?

I had to modify the back lower portion of the wheel wells by bending back the metal a bit. I didn't want to cut anything so I used a 2x4 and a hammer to move the metal in, just enough for clearance. I also had to remove a bit of the liner at the same location and then used a heavy duty zip tie to hold it in place. I then modified the plastic cover piece that mounts in that location using a dremel. Finally, I sprayed a bit of plastidip over the area where I removed the liner to protect the surface.

I'll try and take some pictures tomorrow, you can't even really tell it was modded unless I show you.

I dropped mine o 26's. It rides smooth but there is some rubbing while turning like in and out of elevated driveways.
