Thanks dude...Can't wait for my spacers to come in, get them installed, adjust the height so it doesn't rub(not really looking forward to that part, kind of a bitch), get an alignment, wash the car and take pics to put up here of a similar angle to show the difference.
If you're rolled like you said you'll be fine with 255's and 25mm in the rear as long as you're running enough camber. Front fender liners will rub all to hell unless you have them pinched up tight to the fenders (or removed).
I'm taking a heat gun to mine tonight to reform them so they don't rub on big dips

My front fender liners are trimmed as well at the top where it would rub...I made sure to cover all my bases. I was dumped for a week(tucking all around) but couldn't stand the ride...Too harsh. I'm not into that dumped look, I just don't wanna have any wheel gap or rub on hard cornering(do lots of canyon runs and starting to track/auto X).

if you remove the firewall side of the fender liner you can hear all of the rocks hitting the firewall when your front tire kicks the rocks up and i hate that sound.
Yeah exactly what I'm trying to avoid. I'm pretty confident I can reform the outer edge of the fender with a heat gun and get rid of what little rubbing I have left, enough so I can at least lower it another half inch. My last resort is cutting....
