Anyone lowered on 20's?

Are any of you guys lowered on 20" wheels? I'm wondering how much lower I can drop the car without major rub? Any pics would be appreciated?

Lots of guys lowered on 20"s, I would just look in the photo forum to find pics. Properly sized, 20"s aren't any worse for lowering. Only impact is if you really want to go slammed, then they're not a great idea. I'm on 20"s, fender to ground is ~24.25" so not slammed, but no wheel gap. No issues really. Unless you go crazy with the offsets, you're not going to rub.

Thanks for the info. What lowering setup are you running? Springs or coilovers?

KW V3. Only minor issue I have is that the front tire scrubs on the wheel liner a tiny bit in turns. But you can do that on 19"s too, the tire is pretty close no matter what. I rolled the fenders in rear but that was more due to tire width, 295's, than being lowered.

Thanks, I was thinking I would have to roll my fenders as well since I'm also running 295 tires.

Rubs slightly is you catch a high speed bump but day to day it's fine
