Default Question: Tanabe DF210's

Ok I know that there is alot of info in here about these springs (DF 210), but I would like to know with my stock shocks and this set of springs, with my wheels being 20x8F and 20x9B how will the car ride and would I have to roll the fenders

The reason I choose the Tanabe DF 210 is because from what I see it gives it that aggressive look and drop.

Thanks in advance for everyone's input.

(Also pictures of this type of setup would be great)

The offset is probably one of the most important things to know when buying wheels or for sure when lowering your car.

Google the rims you have and usually they'll list the specs (including offset).

If the wheels line up equal to or inside of the lip of the wheel well the DF210's should be fine, regardless of offset

The wheels does not stick out more than the fenders, so hopefully it should be ok.
