Default How Wide Can I Go

I'm thinking of getting some Forged Rims (20s), but I was thinking I want to go wider than stock.

What's the widest I can go with Tires and Rims without worrying about any rubbing.

I saw the Twin Turbo IS-F from Fox Marketing had 20x11.5 would I actually be able to go that wide without rubbing issues?

Also if I get them I was thinking of purchasing the Eibach Springs, which lower the car 0.7" in the front and 0.3" in the back...

You must have a really high offset for the rears?

if you go with an 11 in the rear you will need to shave or roll your fenders

What's your offset in the rear? Also what's the widest I could go in the front?

What is "barely any?" Does it rub? What size, brand, and model of tires are you running? I'd like to do something similar and want to waste as little time as possible with fitment.
