Just wondering if anyone has ran 255-45-18 tires with a 1.5 drop in front. If anyone has, did they rub?

Ive never ran this size but it is a lil tall. I would go with 40 series if its for ur 01. But to answer ur original question it shouldnt rub.

It's actually 1.6 on mines. I used to run a 275/35/18 but they would rub so I went down to a 255
