What type of suspension are you running? I love the look, but wondering if the front may be too aggressive with my H&R springs.

If you got H&R springs, you could probably get away with it by rolling your fenders if it rubs.

I was running OEM sport suspension and had some rubbing issues with the tire sizes I was running. I went with 245/35-20's up front and 285/30 rears, which is M5 sizing. I would have had zero rubbing issues if I had gone with Non-M sizing which is 245/30-20's up front and 285/25-20 rears. I rolled my front and rear fenders which cured the problem.

Which H&R springs are you running? Was your suspension sport or non-sport? How far did the springs drop your car?

With the smaller Non-M tire sizing and rolling your fenders, the aggressive offsets shoud be ok.

Sent you a PM.

Thanks, I'm running H&R Sport on Sport Suspension. Didn't do any pre-measuring to see the amount of drop I have, but from what I recall it seemed close to what H&R had advertised. I'm just running an 18" set up right now, so I have no issues with clearance. The plan is to find a set up for summer use, and the 18's will be dedicated winters.
Although beautifuly wheels, and a great price, Probably too risky for me.

The H&R springs only lower the OEM sport suspension by .5". The website states 1.3" front and 1.2" rear, but that is for NON-Sport suspension. OEM sport suspension is .75" lower than OEM Non-sport, so the actual drop for your car is only .5" with the H&R sport springs.

Like I said, with the stiffer springs, 245/30-20 fronts and 285/25-20 rears and rolling your fenders you will be ok. The sidewalls on the tires I am running now are .5" taller than that of what you would be running, so with H&R springs you are running you are at exactly the same setup as I was running with the larger tires. You'll need to roll your fenders, but it will fit.
