This is just a question for all of the people with 20's on their GS, With a 1'' drop or even more I was wondering if they rub and how much profile do you have? I'm just curious how practical it would be for me. And how wide and what offsets do you have?

The rub issue will depend on your tire size and rim offset. I have 20"x8.5" in the front with a 245/35-20 tire and I only rub a little bit on the fender lining towards the rear. No big deal, I just have a little clean spot on the plastic fender lining. That's with fender sitting JUST ABOVE the top of the tire (visually).

As for the rear, I have a 20"x9.5" rim with a 275/30-20 and I've only rubbed once when I had someone in the back and I hit a dip at like 80mph (dip in the road, not a pothole). And that was on a nub of some sort on the inside of the fender and it rubbed on the corner of my tire...didn't do any damage whatsoever. My rear end is lowered 2".

My offset is +37 in the front, and +38 in the back on HRE model 543 wheels. I'm running H&R Coilovers.
