lowered wheel choices

I know how much you guys love the lowered truck threads . But anyways has anyone successfully lowered their truck and still ran a stock wheel and stockish sized tire. Meaning a 7 inch wheel with 3 1/2" backspacing and a 27-28" tire. I have my heart set on slotted mags for my f150 but they only ever came with a 3 1/2" bs and im afraid im going to have major rubbing issues. Im not worried about not having the full driveability that i had at stock height, ei im not opposed to putting some sort of stops to keep the steering from going to full lock. Or having to put bump stops on it or something. But it still needs to be driveable. On a slightly related note how the hell to the "poked" and "hella flush" cars drive down the street without losing their fenders? If you dont know what i mean check em out on google.
