I was actually surprised by the rubbing as well. I thought that I had done enough research and seen enough other cars on here that it would be OK. But, it rubbed like hell in the rear. No rubbing at all in front. After rolling the inner fender though, it is not bad. When its just me in the car, it only rubs when i hit some kind of big roller on the highway or sometimes pulling into a driveway. When I have a car full of people, its pretty bad. I'm taking it back to the shop that did the drop. They say they have some ideas.
The wheels are a little "blingy". I can see how some might not like em. But, I just saw them in a magazine ad and they were the first wheels in a while that stood out and caught my eye. At a minimum, they are different. And as we've said here many times, I like em and thats what matters.
Stage3, damn good catch. One of the rears is a BFG. One of the tires came in the wrong size so they had to re-order. They lent me a used BFG that was the right size until the other Dunlop comes in.
Here's all of the exact specs:
NF210 springs
front 20x9, 38 offset 245/35/20
rear 20x10, 42 offset 285/30/20
tires are Dunlop Sport Maxx XL

Looking good, now that what how you sit your ride in some 20" . As far as the rubbing can you shave of about 3mm from your wheels back pad to help with the clear some of that rubbing...

Good question. I actually thought of that but wondered how that might affect the integrity of the wheel. Any opinions? 2-3mm would definitely help.
Also, to answer another question, the staggered setup has had no affect on the vehicle. I made sure to choose a tire setup that would give me an exact match of diameter/circumference. As calculated, my tires are the same size. Sure, in real life they may be a bit off, but there is some margin of error. So far, nothing negative to say about staggered set up on AWD.
