Default 20" 265/35/20 all 4 with 1.25-5" drop will it rub!!

my 20" s are about 9.5 inches wide with falken 265's do think they will rub because there so wide all around. i read the post not the info. i was lookin for. when my brother had them on his SC stock height it sat pretty low and you could barely putr your finger thru the rear wheel well. i think it might be a problem with the front. i never installed the eibachs and bilsteins yet. and they 20's are gettin repaired.

are you sure all of the wheels are 9.5" wide? That sounds really aggressive for the front of a SC on 20s.

I'm almost positive you cant run a 265 20" with a lowered SC!

dont if you can get some SERIOUS fender modding done or not! either that or no drop, which is not a good thing when you have 20s! LOL

at stock height its no problem but the Damn wheels are so wide. or might just sell the wheels and go smaller which i really dont want to do. or get a real good deal on some older style lowenharts like mineBSD or BS5 because they are made much stronger and take beatings much more than the new styles. some 8.5" wide will probably have no problems.

Good luck bro, hope they dont rub, just remember, you have some MAJOR wiring harnesses and relays over your driver side tire (stuff like airbags and ABS, etc etc) so a serious dip couuld leave you in serious issh if you catch my drift!!

Take caution mang!!

Default lowering

i have a few questions about lowering.....the eibach kit does that have everything i will need or do i need to upgrade to new springs as well? what are the parts that make up a suspension system? i am putting 20x8.5 wheels on my sc 300 97 will that look alright for my rear wheels?....is the one inch drop as much as i can do without fender mods....i know mrjames has almost the identical wheels with the drop and he says it only rubs on sharp turns...if i need to purchase anythhing else besides the eibach lowering kit what would that be and average cost? could i do without it for a while? another thing i was wondering about is what are coilovers? is it something so you can adjust your ride height ? i know manaray has them on his sc....what is the average cost of those and what else would i need to buy with them? any help would be appreciated

thanks
