Really odd to be honest but it can depend on the road, passengers etc. Once the correct offsets were ordered and the car has the right tire sizes it should not rub. What size tires?

Sadly no and I have installed a better system for 2013 to collect information to share. I am still working on it though. The main thing is the front, maybe a 20x10.5 +38 but clearly they did a ton of fender work.

I believe he's answered your question. I am curious to know the reason if any.

Whats the offset and width? Roll the rear guards, add a bit more camber.

too many factors...with not enough info. Tire size is only one part of the puzzle.

-ride height
-extra weight in car
-have we determined the actual rubbing spot

Had my GS450h for about 2 weeks before I got wheels for it!

Vossen VVS084s

Front: 20x9 245/35/20 Nitto NT555

Rear 20x10.5 275/30/20 Nitto NT555

Absolutely loving the look of these! Don't think I got too bad of a deal for $800!

The car is on factory ride height as of right now. I'd like to drop the car to lessen the gap, but am afraid of doing any fender rolling etc.

Enjoy!

Kyle

Honestly, your ride height looks fine. It ain't that bad!

Thank you!

I'm happy with the rears, I just with the front were about 1" lower. Seems to *sag* a little bit to me.

Might just be me nitpicking though...

tchdwnuga,
Lowering makes a world of difference. Ya gotta do it. Just get what most of us have, Tanabe NF210 springs. Smooth ride with a 1 inch drop. I didn't have to roll, shave nor pull my fenders.

Always liked that Vossen.

All you need is a small RCA spacer, very easy to install takes 20 min. Maybe a 20mm should level it right, I do like the way it sits looks great.

Two things I'm nervous about if I lower it:

It already scrubs when I have passengers in the rear (when I go over dips and such), which is why I assumed I'd need to pull/roll the fenders (just the rears).

My second concern is that because mine is a Hybrid, with all that extra weight, that after I put springs on the rear of the car will sag.

Your tires (245/35-20 and 275/30-20) are too tall. You should run 245/30-20 and 285/25-20
