Help 20" Wheel Owners! Should I lower my car? Any rubbing issues I can face?

Okay so my friend has an 06 G35C with 20" wheels but is NOT lowered, stock springs. It sits low in the rear already but in the front it definitely needs a drop.
I'm scared that on my car same thing will happen, rear sits low already, so if I lowered it I'm probably going to rub in the rear?

I ordered DPE S-20 20x9 front and 20x10 rear. (offset will be decided by DPE)
Lowering kit I'm yet undecided (so far it's between 350Z H-tech, 350Z Swift Sport Machs, and Eibach Pro Kit)

Let me know what you guys are lowered on, does it rub? Any type of problems? Camber issues?

Thanks!


This here is my car but NOT MY WHEELS(it's just a photoshop) But you can still see how these 20" wheels there is hardly any gap in the rear and it's not even lowered! The front looks horrible, but look at the rear

but these are the two best rear camber correction kits out there.

SPC is actually Eibach's supplier.

Is this considering that the car will be lowered, or are you saying they shouldnt rub on stock springs?

Did you let DPE know you are going to lower the car? The offsets of the wheels will decide whether they rub or not more than anything else.
