It depends very much on your wheel widths and offsets.

i have 245 30 20 285 25 20 the rear could have literally went all the way down untill the tire hit the fender well which would mean tucking wheel. the front can go low to as long as ur wheel clears the strut. thats where offset comes into play. i couldnt go as low as i wanted to in front because of that issue. a 3mm spacer would solve it but i settled on not going to low because it already rides hard
