I just put my 20's and when i got like over a bump i will just get a "slight" rub. I have the sports package, but am planning on lowering the car with H&R'S and just want to see if anyone can give me advice if it will be a constant rubbing or what not.. Thanks!

Run a search for 20s. I am pretty sure that 20s without sports package is not a problem. 20's with a sports package gives a "slight" rubbing effect like you are experiencing. I guess time will tell if will be detrimental. Maybe stifer springs would help. I suspect lowering the car without somehow carving out the wheel wells will only make matters worse.

Silver, what size tires do you have? I don't think you have the ultimate low profile tires like some people on this board do. If so, that might be the reason you're experiencing slight rubs.

[/quote]I just got done fixing my rubbing problems. I am running 245/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear. I had the fenders rolled. They are about 99% rub free. Are you running HRE's?? If so, I am amazed that they rub. What tire brand are you running??
