no rubbing, based on that drop and wheel offset. Enjoy!

i agree with D, the offset is very conservative. the rear it doesn't even come close to rub

No pic, but these things are LOW. They must settle to close to a 2" drop because with 20" wheels, hustla's car has no gap. he even has had the fender liner incident all of us low guys with 20s know so well. As I said, no problem due to people in the car, just be careful when entering driveways, while turning to the right!

What color is your car and what wheels do you have?

go for coilovers... imo ... if you can afford 20" rims you should not compromise on your suspension.

I would go with some coil overs just in case you are too low you can always adjust your drop height.
