the fronts will be fine for sure. What size tires are you putting on the back?

should be fine. Maybe some BFH depending on the size tire you plan on running in the rear.

BFH = Big F***ing Hammer mod. You beat the inner fender wells in some so the tires won't rub. If the tires are like 315's or something similar you will most likely have to do this.

if the tires were included, they may have given you 315-30s just to try and keep the overall diameters equal. You will definately need to do a little BFH for them to fit. I am also lowered 1.5" with the exact same wheels, I have a 295-35 in the back with 5/16" spacers, and pretty much no rubbing.
