Default 20's- I really want to lower my car but...

my front rubs with the factory suspension.

I have Volk GT7's. The fronts are 8.5 and the tire is a 245/35
And in the rear its a 9.5 275/30 but the rear is fine.

It only rubs when i turn half way. If i get 235/35 will it help out the situation?

yeah, it will rub with those tires unfortunately. in my car i dropped the back until the lip of the wheels and front just above the lip and i only have minor rubbing on the right back. none in the front. im running 225/30/20 and 255/30/20. my friend has the 235/35 and it will still rub if you drop it low. 235/30/20 might be a better choice on the fronts.

I am running 245/30 with an 8.5 in the front and its rubbing a little unless you do the heat gun mod and bend the plastic a little. I am pretty sure you will still run with 235/35.
