no you wont.. but mostly it depends on what tires your gonna run.. i have a 6in beam and its low and i run 145 65 on 5 spokes and i dont rub.. tires make the difference..

Possible, depends on tire size, wheel diameter and width, and offset of the wheel.

I have a 4.5" narrowed beam with 135's on the front along with air shocks. When its at about 3/4" off the ground on the beam your turning radius is about 30 feet. Rubbing all over the place... with a tasty smell to go with it.
When I've got about 4" under the beam it rubs a hair but all in all it rides like stock.

In my car I have a 4" narrowed bean adjusted all the way down with dropped spindles and 4.5 porsche fuchs in front ...When I had 135's, they rubbed on the headlight buckets occasionally when the wheel was cranked all the way in either direction or when Ethan was in the car :). Now I have 125's in front and there is no rubbing at all...

Any stopping issues with those thin tires? I know with 135's if I need to stop quickly I get a little sliding every once in awhile.

I had 135's on before the 125's and I haven't noticed any difference between them
