They'll tuck alright but will rub at full turn and bottom out on the fender wheels on bumps pretty bad.

All I can tell you is what mine does. I have the ZQ8 coils and 2" drop spindles. Stock size tires and wheels for the Xtreme. 235/55/16's on 16 X 8's with stock backset. So that's only 3 1/2" drop. It hits the inners only on major dips at 70 mph and above. Rubs very slightly at full lock. But you're talking about another 1 1/2" drop. You can take the bolts in the top of the fender well out (from underneath). Also you can massage the inners some with a hammer but I think you will still hit alot.
