Default H&R Springs + 20's = Rub?

So I've been looking around the forums and I get mixed signals and answers. I'm curious how much rub (if any) I would have if I put H&R springs on my car with a set of 20'' rims. The exact spec of the rims and tires would be:

20x8.5 235/30/20 All around.

Some say 'I get no rub' Some say 'I had to use a heat gun' I'm not concerned about the back, just front really. Anyone have experience running something similar? How's the rub?

I want it to look nice but I dont want my bumper to start coming off when I turn like I've been reading some folks have had experience with

You might be ok with H&R but I have both 19" wheels an 20". Mine is lowered with coils and have no gap (maybe one finger gap). Both have similiar offsets and when I put my 20's, I rub front even with rolled fender and shaved tab. When I put 19, it doesn't rub at all. But I still put 20's cuz i like the looks

Cool well thanks.

How bad is the rub? Is it only when you turn fully? Or is it constant?

Actually it's not bad. It's when i go into those crazy parking/mall entrance. If it's deep, i rub but other then that I don't rub. When I turn my wheel fully, it doesn't rub.

You shouldn't rub. Depending on your offsets. Im running 20x9+23 in the front and barely rub on a full lock turn. Although Im rolled a little bit in the front. Any thing above +30 you should be fine. Hope that helps.

No it's not an AWD. I didn't want to do the staggered set up for the purposes of saving myself on tires slighty by being able to rotate. Also, it just made more financial sense for me to do it that way.

with the offset and the tire size that you will be running,you should be fine,it's almost running a stock size.
