Rims and dropped

Does anyone have 20's on there car and have there car lowered? Does it scrape or are there any problems with it?
I wanted to get 20's and get Eibach springs. Thanks

Gotta roll the fenders. Also plan on a really rough ride.

Some people have been able to lower their car with 19s w/out rolling the fenders. Depends on the wheel and tire size. Most have alignment issues, usually the front more than the back but all of that can be fixed with money. Your ride will be a lot better on 19s than 20s lowered.

Here's a picture of my 20" ADR's that are for sale dropped on RS*R springs. No rubbing unless on a dip and steer full left or full right. No need to roll fenders.

Re: Rims and dropped

Mine rub just a bit on the driver's rear. 20x10's with eibachs. I still need to roll my rear quarter panels to fix the problem. I liked using the 20's because the front has a taller overall height. Essentially the front lowers 1.1 inches with the eibachs, but then raises back up I think .25 inches because of the tire size. You get the right stance of the car without being to close to the ground. The ride is stiffer but not that bad.

If anything I would still like the back about .25 inches lower.

Re: Rims and dropped

Whether it will rub will depend on the combination between the rim width and offset.
