if your getting coilovers you can adjust the height 20's i have on my car no rubbing at all it all depends on the wheel and tire its kinda like a cracker jack box... gotta open it to see whats inside once you oput the coilovers on if it rubs when you drop it either raise it or get you fenders rooled or even cut depending on how agressive you want to be... oh btw... pictures are a must in this club.

the fronts should clear but the back may require some minor mods. depends on your tires. if you're going to dump it low, the camber may be good so you don't have to do any mods to the rear fender.
