Lowering and wheels

Have a 66 short bed and have acquired a set of djm drop need for the front. Will door front 3" and going to drop the rear 4". Will my 17" rims create rubbing? Don't want to roll the fenders under. Your help is appreciated

How wide are your rim's? The 66 set up typically fairly far in compared to a 73-79 stance on the front. Pics would be good, but what I would do is turn the wheels all the way both ways and measure with a straight edge or a 24" square and a tape measure to truly determine where you are at.
