Looking at throwing some 215s on the front and 245s on the rear. will this be alright on a 1inch drop? I dont want to throw money into tires is they will not work. THANKS

well you prob cant fit tires any narrower than that on there anyway.. so whats your question? you already "threw money into wheels that dont work"...
youll probably need mad camber and fender rolling.

You have to make them work. It would not be a situation where you just bolt them on. I would think even with the fender lip rolled and more negative camber that they could still rub in certain conditions.
