Hey guys, I recently put 20s on my car and I have heard from a few people on here that my car would look a lot better if I lowered it? My cousin has a car that has been lowered and I don't like driving it cause of speed bumps, dips, parking lot entrances/exits, its a pain IMO. As it is sometimes my TL will scrape and for this reason I really did not want to lower it more.

If I decide to lower it, what are my drop options? 1.00 inch, 1.25 inches?? Maybe .75 inches. I obviously want the car to look good so any help from you experts on this would be cool.

I also am wondering if someone can photoshop the below picture to give me an idea of how my car would look. Thanks guys.

u mentioned your hesitate about lowering it due to ground clearance. well, i've got 19" and its lowered 1" front and back and i haven't bottomed out however it all depends on road conditition and WHEEL CLEARANCE.

my tires doesn't clear the wheel well so it rubs up against the wheel well (rear ones) when it hits a large bump or if i have passengers in the back. really annoying if you ask me. I need to change out wheels or replace the springs....either way if you have wheel clearance i think you'll like 1" drop especially with 20" rims.

what size tire do you have? also what is the name of those wheels looks sick lowered. I think you should be ok if you are running a 245-30-20

dang you're 20's?! i would've suggested a 1.25 drop - i have a 1.50 drop, and it's absolutely PERFECT: i don't bottom out at all! but seeing that you have 20s and I have 18s...I'd suggest an inch...even with an inch though, i'd be concerned with rubbing in the back when and if you have passengers...like bigmoetl1 asked...what spec tires are you running?

Ehhh I remember you had a issue with those tires/rims on the car. Ever get them resolved? I'd wouldn't do more than a 1" drop on your car.

Yeah I ended up having to get my fenders rolled, the guy did it for free, but did not do a very good job, paint is peeling But I have not rubbed since! Thats another reason why I did not want to lower it cause I remember how freakin annoying it was when I used to rub and dont want to have that problem again.

I have 295s in the back ! Yeah I know that's crAAAzy! but that was my only option and I wanted these wheels really badly, I actually did not know I was going to have the rubbing issues I had or I would have not got these wheels. As you probably saw in my above post, I got these wheels, kept rubbing, had fenders rolled (crappy job) and now paint is chipping, good thing you cannot see this, unless you look under the wheel well but I am still kinda upset about it now. Oh well I don't think I can do much about that now
