Default airbags and max wheel size

I've recently installed the easystreet bag setup and am running 20 x 7.5" rims. It looks great however for daily use and winter I was hoping for a wheel/tire combo that could be turned to full lock when the bags are down and not hit the front fenders.....anybody know the biggest diameter that doesn't hit???

With the suspension all the way down, no wheel and tire combination that is near stock overall diameter will turn to full lock without hitting the fenders. Try some 10 inch wheels with rubber bands on them they might clear.

Uh... it's not gonna happen.

You should extend the axle 2' and house the wheel outside of the fenderwell!
