On stock 20” OEM wheels, I lowered my using the EBay lowering modular and H&R spacers, 15mm front and 12mm rear. Sits flush without rubbing at all.

15mm front and 12mm rear is the common spacer size. I'm dropped 20mm with wheels with equivalent offsets and no problems with rubbing. Tire wear is a different story.

a lowered car combined with spacers will exasperate tire wear. each on their own will have a slight effect but combined you are changing the "moment" of the contact patch and how the forces where the weight of the car is placed to the ground (I.E. inner and outer edges vs. evenly over the face of the tire). If you have changed the tire size or offset it again adds more chance of uneven tire wear.... unless of course you changed control arms and or other components.

I burned up a set of fronts in approx 2K miles after I lowered w/new wheels & alignment. Replaced the A arms and realigned and now wear is like stock. One would think A arms are expensive but they're not much more than a set of front tires.

They told me H&r won’t work because I have carbon ceramic brakes

Who is they? I'm running H&R with CCB. Spacers are just round pieces of metal with holes for bolts

I honestly don’t think CCB vs steel brake/calibers have anything do with the spacers as long as your running it with the OEM wheels because all your doing is pushing the wheels outward away from the calipers for α flush with fender stance.

H&R spacers or any reputable spacers will work as long as it’s hub centric.
