C63 coupe EVO X(sold) WRX (sold)
Advise about the HR spring( picture attached)

Right now my setting is like this:

20x8.5 front
20x10 rear
with HR 10mm spacer for rear
Tire is Pirelli P Zero

If I install the HR spring(lower 0.75"), will it rub the fender at the back?

Any member had an experience with this?

BTW, why do you need the 10mm spacers in the rear on your 20x10? Calipers clearance problem?

Ya, because when I order my rim from the company, they made a mistake about the offset, so I need a spacer to pull out the rear rim more.
Right now my offset is +55 rear.. And rear tire is 285/25,front is 245/30
So will it rub?!

+55mm including the spacers or +45mm with the spacers?

If the first case, you should be ok with 20x10 +55mm (not sure about the 285/25 though)... if you rub, you can go down to 275/25.

If the second case, you will rub for sure at 19x10 +45mm.

My rim itself is offset 55, and + the 10mm spacer.... So I guess I can't go with spring, maybe coilovers?!

I knew they were 20x10 +45mm from looking at the pics.. They look very aggressive.

Coilovers won't help ur case, unless u want to lower the front only & not touch the rear (rake look). U will rub no matter if u do coilovers or springs. U should just stay at stock height, or return the wheels. May I ask the brand of ur wheels? Better pics of the car? Thx

About the rubbing you will probably rub. Im lowered on 19" monobocks 8.5 front and 10 rear and Ive rubbed a little and bottomed out the front and bent the drivers side fender.

Coupe
Wheels look like BC Forged.

20" wheels can fit and not rub. Suggest trying a 5mm spacer in conjunction with the drop if you do rub. Rear brake clearance usually isn't an issue...unless somehow the wheels were built completely wrong but don't see how that would be possible.
