Will these 20" rub? stock suspension...

would these rub on a stock suspension 06 coupe?

Axis shine-

20x9 +15 front with 245/35
20x10 +20 rears with 285/30

I'm afraid the rears will rub...... Thinking about 275/30 in the rear.... Any input would be appreciated!

They will not rub. I run 20X10.5 (285/30/20) rear and 20X9.5 (255/30/20) front with +24mm offset all around.
I'm also dropped 1.6" front and 1.4" rear with no rubbing at all. Your offsets are more aggressive than mine but when you factor my .5" additional wheel width and that I run LESS negative camber than stock; you'll be more than fine.
Good luck!

Could you help me too? Ive purchased some 20x8.5 20offset front & 20x9.5 25offset rear. I plan on dropping on Tein s-tech's which are around a inch front and back drop. As far as tires and spacers what do you think I should run for that flush look? Id like to avoid having to roll the real tho. Thanks for any input you can give. Ive searched and noted my options but id like to hear a direct idea based on my info. Thanks again!

As far as spacers go, I calculate that 20mm up front and 25mm in the rear will bring your wheels toward the fenders nicely without any clearance issues.

For tires, you have a couple of options depending on whether you care more about saving a few pounds per tire or getting the maximum contact patch on the road. A basic recommendation that would look clean and perform well would be 245/30/20 in front with 265/35/20 in the rear.

I usually try to stay as close to the OEM diameter specs. Based on Yokohama Advan Sport specs, the 245/30/20 would be 25.9", .2" less than OEM (26.1") and the 265/35/20 would be 27.4", .5" more than OEM (26.9").

Good luck as you choose your tires. Different brands have a slightly different selection. The consensus is that if you stay within 3% of the OEM diameter, it should be fine.

how can you say that? there are plenty of members on here who rub with that tires size, many, including myself rub with 275/30/20's and im dropped just as much as u with +25 offset all around on stock camber settings

Thanks for your help solobaric. Ill probably go 245/35/20 and 275/30/30 with the teins s. As far as spacers, Ill wait until everything settles and then pickup spacers and camber kits down the road. I just dont want to have to end up rolling the rear. Its hard to find a good shop here in south texas, i dont know anyone with a modded g in my area. Gotta get my help online. Much appreciated!

I just recently put on a staggered set 19x8.5 front (275/35/20) 20x10 Offset in the rear is about 38 I believe. I had the rears rolled flat and it clears the fender just barely on stock suspension.

I keep checking my tires for rub marks on the tire and it seems to only slightly rub on the inside top of the wheel well on the driver side when I turn into any incline driveway at an angle (The suspension travels alot on large bumps too but I cant tell if its hitting or not) ... Its rubbing so minimal I cant hear it I just notice rub marks on the outer tread of the driver side tire....

The passenger side does not seem to go up into the wheel well as far and there are no markings , is this a sign of a weak spring or shock on the driver side?

Or did I get too aggressive with the tire size and should I downsize to 265/30/20 or 255/30/20 to accomodate the stock suspension?
