Default Another one of those "will this rub?" thread :(

Got the SSR SP1 Professors in 19x8.5 and 19x10 with +37 offsets all around. The fronts are wrapped in 255 and the rears in 285. I was thinking about getting some spacers but can't decide what size. I have a chance to get a set of 15mm and 20mm spacers for cheap. Would an effective +17 in the front with an effective +22 in the rear after spacers be fine/no rubbing? (using the 20mm spacer upfront and 15mm spacer in the rear).
Thanks!
forgot to mention that I'll be doing a mild lowering this summer with Tein S-techs.

See below at posts 10 and 11 for pics

Depends on how low, and tires too, but you should be ok.

I'm at 10.5 +23 in the back with 285/35s and an S-Tune drop, and I just barely rub under extreme conditions. So you'll be close -- probably is going to depend on how far you go on the drop. Easy solution: roll/cut.

According to this calculator : http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
the outer position of my rear wheels with the effective 22mm offset should be 5mm more inside the wheel wells. So the rears might be fine . Now how about the fronts?

I have 19x8.5+20 ssr sp1's on the front, and they are tucked. I'm planning on adding a 15-20mm spacer so +17 is nothing

*bump and update*
The rears are barely rubbing the fender, but the bad thing is that the springs have just been installed and haven't been able to "settle" in yet. So im worried that they will eventually rub even more once it does settle. Pics soon.

Pics of the rubbage on the rear tires and a couple pics from a distance. Let me know what you think. I can't decide if I like the rear tires that far out. The rears are 37+ offset 19x10 with 285/35/19 BFG KDWs. They have a 15mm spacer making them 22+ offset. Opinions valued, thanks!

I have 10" +25's with a 295/30 and I don't rub with a 1.25" drop. The lips will have to be rolled.
