Title: Lowering with 255/45/20 AND offset
Post by: Colorado-SHOBro on October 19, 2017, 10:26:47 PM
Found a steal of a deal on some "used" never installed H&R springs so i impulsively pulled the trigger.
eyeballing the gap up front i'm a bit nervous of rubbing issues.
here's my setup:
20x8.5 +32mm offset
255/45/20
it's not so much the overall size that worries me as i know others have run the springs with that size and stock rims but more so the offset that puts the meat of the tire possibly under the crease of the wheel well.
tried to get the best pics i could. the white strip is 1.5" tall. equivalent or the drop with h and r.i don't think there will be interference in general but wondering about bumps etc.

If you haven't already found out my guess is you will be fine. They poke out more than stock but I know some guys are running 20x9.5 et35 wheels without issue.

..... and just saw you thread with pics.
