Remove the wheelwell moldings first, it it still rubs, then u need to trim off or roll the rear wheelwells.

The People who run 20's with drop and no rubbing, is cause of offsets ...they have the right offsets and some probably roll their fenders

We have 20x10 on the 2000LS with a slam and no rubbing, but we built the wheels for the car, and the intended tires. Now who knows what car your wheels were made for. Find out the width and offset to start (also they may have installed a spacer to clear the calipers which would lead to rubbing)

no there stright for my car.i have a +35 offset and no spacers.but also i found out that i might need new springs because when some one sits in the back the rear wiill lower like 2 inches just with them sitting.so if i get new springs.what should i get i want the tanable springs that lower the car 2 inches.i heard that they will work because they have a high spring rate.what do you guys think i should do and i dont want coilovers lol.
