You should be fine. I was on thinner tires (285/25/20) with H&R sport and had no rubbing (non-sport susp). I also had an one 12" sub

That 30 series on the rear with a 285 tire sounds like rubbing waiting to happen. I'd go with 285/25 to be safe.

What size tire did you go with? I have 285/30/20 tires also and want to lower my car. I still have about 85% tread left so I don't want to buy new tires yet. But I do want a drop..bad!
