Question Eibach Springs with 20" wheels

I was just curious to know if anyone has put Eibach sprins on their car with 20" rims. I have 20x8.5 wheels with Nitto 555 245/35/20's. I want to lower the car a bit with the eibach's, but I do not want them to rub. Thanks in advance.

eibachs only lower abot 1" all around-approximately. its a more conservative springs. also, i think, could be wrong, should take into consideration the offset of the wheels if concerned about rubbing.

Ditto on the Eibach pros. Likely the least chance of fender clearance problems. I'm quite happy with the performance. Much firmer than a stock spring, and they won't bust the fillings out of your teeth. Tirerack has them for a good price.

there are some members here that will tell you they rub on 20s with stock suspention. me on the other hand will tell you that i do not have any rubbing problems on a 2" drop with 20s. However; 20s and springs are not the only factor that can cause rubbing issues. tire setup and wheel ofset play a bigger role on rubbing than springs or a 20" wheel. do some homework, this topic comes up all the time and there is a lot of info out there.
