It makes your car look more aggressive
Your running on really wide tires there... 255/30/20 front and 285/25/20 rear. If you had like a 245/30/20 front and 275/25/20 rear do you think it will still rub? How bad was it?

thanks.. i think it'd still rub.. cuz of the 10" wide at the bac.. u'll do fine wth 9.5 i think.. in this case., i ordered 10" cuz i was afraid it'd not look as concave as i want so i told them to go as wide as they can... n' it rubs also cuz of the 5mm pads.. wth the stock pads.., it'll run fine.. only front right wheel is rubbing on mine.. i think it's cuz of the plastic cover inside the wheel well.. i hav to check it.. another thing is., if u wanna go lower than super sports., stick to 19s..

Nice job. Another evidence point when I tell people 20s can work, but only with an aggressive drop. I can see where you're rubbing though. Maybe some camber arms would help by intentionally inducing some negative cambering.... of course the trade off is performance and uneven tire wear. Worse case, you could widebody it

20's with 285 in the rears very nice i thought 19's with 265 was the limit without rubbing but damn you went beyond the limit.
