Default Drop with 20's?

I have 20 inch wheels and I'm wondering how much I should drop it...anyone else have 20's and lowered their Z?...if so, what setup did you use and how much of a drop?...also, did you have to roll the fenders?

Should be posted in the Wheel/Tire forum. Do a search in there. Lots of answers.

I have the axis mods. The offsets are 37 and 38 and I dropped them using hotchkis springs and no rubbing issues at all.

I'd say go with 1" for the front. 1 .25"-1.50" in the rear.

My car is dropped 1" in the front, and 1.25" in the rear. My catalytic converters are litterally 4" off the ground. It's a miracle I don't hit anything I go over but I don't. I can't see REALISTICLY going any lower without problems. Just giving us the offest is worthles without telling us the rim width.

My Z is lowered with Nismo S-Tune 0.8 drop. 20's (20x8.5F/20x10R) with +25 offset all around 255/35/20 and 285/30/20. It only rub's a little when taking a real sharp turn. You might rub a lot more with +20 offset. In my opinion you will have to use 285 in the rear. 275 will look to stretched w/20x10.

here's a pic...what kind of drop would you suggest?



i just want it for the looks i guess...it looks lifted in the back...i don't want to sacrifice too much of the ride quality, but i need to get rid of the space between the wheel and the fender
