Default will these fit?

i have a gs3. I am looking at a set of 20" rims that are 8.5 in the front and 10 in the back. Will these fit without rubbing or anything? Also i want to drop it 2" or so. will this be a problem. please let me know. thanks



NEW QUESTION. Will 20x10 all the way around be good also?

the offsets are 35mm. i am gonna go with the 19's and drop it 1.8" though. Does that sound like a ok setup? is a 1.8 inch drop gonna make it look any better? it doesn't sound like much

spliffy> which setup you got? 19's with 1.8 drop? do you have a pic i could see. I plan on ordering either the 19's or 20's tomorrow so i need to decide this tonight. that would help me a lotttt. thanks. The wheel fitment guide on the 20s say it might rub on anything other than the sc430 lexus. Is that just a warning or will they really rub?

they will not rub..it took me 3weeks to decide on getting 20s so i finally decided to order them..like i said 20x8.5 225/35/20 20x10 255/35/20 with some springs or coilovers will give u that look with a drop..my opinion..

i originally wanted to 20's but that statement on the fitment guide scared me a bit. If the 20's wont rub with a 1.8" drop then im going for the 20's lol. Here is a pic of the rims btw. I know they aren't everyone style but they caught my eye and i think they may look pretty sick. lmk what you think.

yea i definitely will. Oh one more question. i see some people on here saying that get the lowering springs are not worth it because it will cost more over time. saying it will mess stuff up. Im not seeing why that is.
