man didn't i warn you in the earlier post? find out the offset for both front and rear, and i will be able to tell you where you are rubbing. then you will be able to see what you can do to take away the rubbing. but you can pretty much forget about going back to as low as before, unless you don't want the tires and the fender liner inside anymore

ohh well shiet happens..... DOES ANY KNOW WHAT 20'S WILL LOOK LIKE WITH THE STOCK HEIGHT??? Im gonna shave some fender in the mean time until i figure what to do. Another option is to raise up to stock height and sell my TEIN's .. So if anyone knows how the stock height will be on 20's let me know. how many finger gap does it have.. ???

OEM height + no kit + 20s = SUV.

i knoe this might sound ghetto but what if i put the suspension bak to stock. Cut 1 coil off the front and 1/2 off the back.??? That way i would get a slightly lower SUV.. look. hahah

anyway, regardless, try to figure out the offset and see what's up. and yes, the wheels do look like very aggressive offset

Alright new update. After doing some final adjustment with the alignment and all NO more rubbing. The offset was correct it was because the alignment was so jacked up it wasnt even funny. So after said and done all it really is the alignment.. Do these wheels look ok???. Think about selling it now.. Not quite the look im lookin for,.. or does it need a kit.. anyways. thought i let those know that help me thru this. If anyones interested in the wheels let me know also. Thanks
