Post Rim Help!!!!

I am purchasing 20x8.5 rims in a few days. I have a h&r race kit on my car now. Only springs. Will i have any rubbing issues? Do i need to change spring sets? Please post your opinions. Thanks

whats the drop on the springs & offset of the rims?

I have the A-Spec drop with 20x8.5 and the only rubbing issues I experienced was in the rear wheel well where the a-spec kit was attached. I removed a 5x2.5 inch piece of the bracket and all rubbing is gone. Well it was until last weekend when I took a ride up to vegas with 5 people and luggage. But thats definately not normal driving conditions.

you should be fine with that profile of tire. but you still might have to modify the rear aspec kit. easy to do

with a 45mm offset wheel and 235/30 series tires you shouldn't have any rubbing... once you modify the rear A Spec underbody spoiler where it attaches to the rear bumper.

Good Luck Moe...
