Default Tein S-tech and 20" wheels

I've searched, and its hard to find anyone with 20's, let alone someone who's got 20s with springs. Im trying to get some input from people who have or know someone who has, and whether or not there was any rubbing front or rear (clearly depending on width, tire size, and offset as well). I'm going 20x8 all around on 235/35 tires, +45 offset. Please dont bother posting "get 19's", or "go to a 30 series tire", roads suck around here.

I don't have pictures, but with those specifications, I doubt you are going to run into any problems.

225/35/20 tires shows a 4.7% difference compare to your stock, a no no for AWD.

really? i thought where people were talking about differences, then ment between the front and back rolling diameter if staggering. i assume the guys at the tire shop would have said something, as they said they wouldnt take the liability of running staggered wheels on my AWD. If there was an actual issue, i feel like they would not be insuring the work they are doing.

Yes, it's the difference between front and back. Stock tire sizes have nothing to do with this. You could be 20% off and still be fine as long as the front and rear match. The only thing is that his speedometer will be off by a bit.

i just got them on this weekend, sorry for the huge delay. after expanding my search for places to do the work, finally found a garage an hour away that charges $200 flat for springs. every single place near my house either wanted 400$+ or refused to do it. ill post a pic 2nite
