Default 2" Daizen drop...Rub?

hi all...fixin to get a set of 20's staggered for my GS...20X8.5 & 20X10...im definitely gonna drop it too...was thinking Daizen springs or Espelir springs. I know they are the most aggressive available without going coilover. will i have to worry about rubbing with a 2" drop on 20's? i was gonna run 275's on the rear. thanks all!

If you want to play safe ... go for coilovers ...

IMO, it won't rub since 2" drop fron the stock will still have fender clearance from the tires for 20s
However if your rims stick out because of the aggressive offset, then it might be a different stroy..
good luck!

dont forget the type of tires that's going to be used has an effect on rubbing or not. some tires have a rounded edge and some a square edge.

Shouldn't rub unless your rims have a badly sized offset.

Rubbing has everything to do with a rims offset.
