There is no rubbing with the 20's and H&R springs and spacers. I'm using 255/35's in front and 285/30's in back. I was really worried about the ride being too harsh, so I researched it quite a bit. The ride is slightly stiffer, but in the Comfort mode, very smooth. I drove around in Normal mode before the mod, and I'm continuing in Normal.

I like your choice of wheelz~
do you know how much each weights?
coz I am trying to save more weight for my car
and wheelz may help a lot and make it a little bit faster ~~
