For comparison's sake, this is 295/35-20, which I believe is 28.1" tall:

It's on Air Lift bags. The front fender liners are sitting directly top of the tires and the body is sitting directly on top of the UCA in the rear. It won't go lower than that.

315 35 20 rubs bad with lowering springs, 305 35 20 didnt rub with steeda sports 1.25 lower in the rear.

315 35 20 is barely ok with stock springs.

HMMM. So I have the 1.5in drop in the back. Would 295/35/20 rub?

possibly, it also depends on the offset and size of the rim though.

It's totally dependent on the offset. My rears are 20x11 +53mm and the 295/35-20s don't rub even when I air it out until the body is laying flat on the axle housing.
