Can I keep my 20's with coilovers?

Im going to buy coilovers, in two weeks, but I have staggered 20 inch rims. I currently have tein luxury springs, and they dont rub, hoping the coilovers don't as well. Would I have to putt spacers on? because my friend had to, but he has a 240sx. Thanks

yeh, you can have 20s with coilovers...

if you rub, then just roll your fenders/run negative camber.

what are your offsets, how wide are you wheels, and what size tires are you running?

If your wheels dont rub now, they wont rub with coilovers. Your friend had to get spacers because the back of the wheel/tire was rubbing the coilover body, that doesnt happen on our cars. Only way you'll rub would be on the fender if you drop it lower than it is now. Then you would roll your fenders or run a little more neg. camber.

I'm guessing you're saying the lip on your wheels is 2.5F and 3R. That doesnt tell the size/width/offset of your wheels. They'll still fit either way though, unless you have some super high offset wheels.
