My question is whether or not the fronts will rub with that large of offset. I'm thinking it won't, but wanted to seek advice from others.

I plan to lower to either coils or ACS springs (1-2" drop).
With your proposed setup, I'd be concerned about the wheels or tires rubbing on the suspension on the front. Because your offset is 13mm more than stock, and because you are going with a 9" vice 8.5" wheel, and because you are going with a 255 vice 245 tire, the inside of the front rim & tire will be tucked in even more. The inside of the wheel will be 17.35mm / 0.68" closer to the suspension. The wider tire makes the edge move another 5mm closer too. Before you buy these wheels, I'd measure the current distance between your wheel/tire, and the suspension, and in particular the upper A-arm joint. If it is less that 1", then you may have a problem with your proposed setup.
