Tire sizes you will need to ensure that you will not rub. And if you do rub it won't be that bad. Hope this helps.

You're gonna rub unless you go with the bigger pads all around. Don't use the small ones. What you should do is have the big ones handy so that if you try the small ones you can swap them out the same day if it rubs to much. And yes you will have to roll all your fenders especially the front ones. Be sure to do it to the maximum stretch that your fender roller will allow you to.
Tire sizes you will need to ensure that you will not rub. And if you do rub it won't be that bad. Hope this helps.

You might want to try:
#3 pad - front
#4 pad - back
And if you rub with this set up with the cup kit go with a #1 pad on the bottom all around to lift it...that's what I had to do with cut springs and it rides good. I might end up going with a #2 pad all around because I still rub a little on the back driver side...but I always have had a problem with that side because for some reason my fender has never been even with the other side.
I will let you know if I do it this weekend and I will sell you my #1 pads so you can have them handy to install on the bottom in case you rub with what ever set up you go with.

Umm, I have 275's on 19x10's and no rubbing. I also have 275's on my 18's and no rubbing. it all depends on the offset of the rims and tires you run.
