Hi all: I haven't been able to find someone who has 20s without lowering. Anyone?

Not precisely what you are asking for, but should give you an idea.

Not a great photo unfortunately. Not enough of a gap to lower. I drive a lot and do not want to deal with a lowered car.

The last set of wheels rubbed in the front due to the offset and wheel design so I put it back stock and I hate wheel gap so I switched rims and went with h&r springs and modified them. Here's how she sits now.

Care to share how you, "modified" your H&R springs? Your stance looks incredible.
