Default Thinking of lowering with df210

Will be running Iforged 20 inch wheels (Dont have offset bought used) .Wheels were on a 2GS and fit flushed. Thinking of running 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear. My question is will I have to do fender mods? Has anyone had problems with them sagging? I was told to use Suspension technics,Tein basics,or KWV1. Has anyone installed any of these on there car? how do does it look? Thanks in advance for your help

more than likely will rub when you turn the wheel all the way to the left or right

what's the width of front wheels ? u need to know these & offset to figure out it will rub or not.

to be safe, once u go low, it's better to do a little fender mods to avoid any kind of rubs.

I've had DFs on my car for over 2 years and i still like them. The drop is pretty low and it does seem to sag a bit in the rear.

Without knowing the exact specs of the rims, i can't comment on the rubbing. Those tire sizes seem like they would rub though.

thats width, not offset.

check on the inside of the wheel and look at the back of the spokes or barrel, it should look something like this if they stamped the wheel

The rear will rub also.

I'm lowered on DF210's, 20x10 +35 (265/30-20) with rolled rearmfenders and I rub on dips with only me in the car. With passengers, forget it.

I got 20's on mine with the df. I can't remember my offsets but it rubs even after rolling the fenders. Looks good but you may have to shave. The only place it seems to rub is where the bumper meets the metal on the fenders both in the front and back.
