Default need inputs on stretched tires

I have Gnosis 4 with 20X 8.5 front on 30 offset and 20x9.5 on 35 offset rear. I have tires 245/30 and 255/30 on megans. I want to drop my car more but front keeps on hitting the fender bracket when i go fast on a road dip. I bent it and now it left a scratched on my front tire. Rears, i don't have any rubbing issues if i drop it more.

How bout getting 225/35/20 for fronts so I will have a rounded edge coz 245/30 is too square??
Is it safe to have stretched tire?? Also, Planning to do phantom cup kits....tnx

225/35-20 on 8.5 is a "mild" stretch and as long as you have RWD, you should be fine. I ran that for over a year with no issues.

My car is lowered almost 2" and rim spec was 20x8.5 +40 without fender mods. As far as rubbing is concerned, I'm not sure how it will turn out on your car. I was strictly referring to the rim and tire fitment.

if you have 8.5, you might as well stretch 205 on it... I stretched 225 on a 9.5

I'm running 225/35 on a 9.5x20 and 235/35 on a 10.5x20. Front and rears are stretched out nicely.
