Default 20inch Thruxtons, how low can I go.

Hello everyone,
I have been a member of this forum for a while, but I dont really post much.
I was just wondering, I have 20" TSW thruxtons, 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the back. They are wrapped in Toyo T1rs, and I believe its 245/35/20 in the front and 285/30/20 in the rear. The offset is +20 all around.
I just want to know what kind of springs to get and how low I can go without having any issues. It seems like there is barely any space to lower in the front, but any help from anyone would be really helpful.

Thanks again...
-Andrew

Im just a little worried about rubbing, an inch might be too big of a drop. Especially in the front.

Your offsets aren't that aggresive so no need to fret. Slam that chit.

yea since your offset is not aggressive at all, you wont rub. if your worried with the h-tech, i would just keep it stock as the h-tech is as mild as you can get for a drop.

I just measured it... I have less than an inch in the fronts between the tire and the fender, and about an inch and a half in the rear. How should i go about this? Half an inch in the front? and about 1 inch in the back? What do you guys think?
