Default Lowering with 2 sets of wheels

First let me say sorry if this has already been answered, I searched but couldnt find anything. My question is can I lower my car with 20 inch wheels and still have a decent ride height with my 19 inch wheels? I know that I can get coils and just keep adjusting but I would just rather the springs as a personal preference. Has anyone else been in this situation?

thanks in advance

Since there is no different if height between 19's and 20's if you buy the proper sized tires. The answer is YES.

Not sure sure you understand the difference between “lowering” and tire height.

lol I dont think I do either. If I lower the car with the 20's will it rub on the fenders? The tires are 275 35 in the front and 275 30 in the rear (I believe). I know with the 19's there is no problem. What I really want to know is with the car lowered about an inch in the front and back will there be problems when I put the 20 inch wheels back on? Thanks for your input.

If you change springs the distance from the base of the spring to the ground remains the same.

When you mix wheels and tires match the OEM tire height.
