04 TL with 20" MB Drifters

Hoping someone would have the answer... I have an 04 TL with 20" MB Drifters

Front-MB Wheels Drifter 20X8.5 5x114.3 35mm Silver Machined
Rear-MB Wheels Drifter 20X10 5x114.3 50mm Silver Machined

I am wanting to install Megan Coilovers with atleast a 2 inch drop but is concern about the rear wheels rubbing. I know I would have to roll in the fenders but wondering if that will be enough. thanks

I think two inches will be too much of a drop. I'd more than likely go with a one-inch drop.

Post pics!

Welcome to the forums.

Your enthusiasm is appreciated, but posting the same thing 5 times was a little bit over the top, so I deleted 4 of the posts and left this one open, since it's the only one with a reply.

I'm running a 20x10 40 offset rear and 20x9 38 in the front and I had to only roll my rear fenders you might get away without a roll with a 50 offset. Worse case senario is a simple roll and you'll be golden. What size tires are you running?

put the coilovers on, lower it, if it rubs raise it, roll the fenders do what u need to do to make them fit, that's the beauty of coilovers.

i got 20 x 8.5 with 245/35 tires. on stock right now, but upgrading suspension soon. i got my fenders rolled anyways just to be safe in case of whatever drop i get. if you are in the NJ area, i know a guy who does a real good job for cheap.

concerned ACURA

Hey Bro I think that is going to be a little too much of a drop. but I think with some minor adjustments you can get away with it.
