Default Calling for all rims/lowering experts

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to get some new rims (maybe lowering as well). I'm fairly new into the whole wheel setup business and need some advice/tips in things to look out for. I've been eyeing Vossen 085, 078, or similiar 20" or 19" rims.

Currently, I have everything in stock (rims are in X-package 08) From my research, I heard ppl ran into rubbing, brake incompatibility issue, tire pressure sensing, alignment, etc.

So my question is: (Assuming if I buy the 20" rims with tires already mounted on, would I experience any problem with stock height?

If not, how much can I lower?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

it all depends on your offset, at stock height there prolly won't be any rubbing at all. I had f:9.5+32 and r:10+37 w/ tein s-techs and no rubbing at all
