Default Rubbing with 20" Rims

Hey guys... Does anyone know if you put 20x9 and 20x10.5 rims on a stock height car will there be any rubbing in turns or bumps?

That's what I'm running and I'm slammed. All depends on wheel offsets and tire sizes.

+45 isnt too aggressive. with a slimmer tire 215/35 and a a 245/35 in the back should be fine

you could prob even do a 40 sidewall

I'm tucking tire on the velgens and I have 235/30/20 and 255/30/20 and I only rub on dips. You should be fine with those sizes

He is probably running conservative offsets. If it's anything close to the offsets I am running (+38 front, +45 rear) you will rub in the front on hard turns. I don't rub in rear at all. I'm was lowered on F-Sport springs and now I'm lowered on Road Magnets.

20x9+45 with 225/30/20 and you should be fine. Might be very light rub, unless you lower your car more than 1.5 inches.
