Nah, I usually raise it an inch or so when I drive. Renntech controller is my savior.

20x9 and 10 +35 all around.. I decided it's not aggressive enough. I have not driven the black series...Unfortunately I am not that baller. It's still on break in period though so I am faster than it. . It's an amazing car though.

edit: disclaimer: yes I know my tires are on backwards.

Really had to "operate" to get those wheel in. Originally ET40 offset, but had to use a 10 mm spacer, and had to shave a little bit off the rear brake calliper.

Pictures are fine but can I ask why you needed Spacers? You would have been fine with the ET40

With that design on the back rims, with the big "lip", the brake calliper hits the spokes in the rims. Even with the 10 mm spacer it rubbed. The surface where the rim meets the car is just not building enough "up" from the spokes.....if you understand what i try to explane (pardon my french )

We have to remember that we are talking about a few milimeters here. Just the curve of the spokes, thickness and other design differences does this I guess.....
