Front tire is taller than the rear tire. This can not end well.

Do you mean roll fenders or roll a doobie?

Fenders, not on stock suspension.

Doobie, not unless you can get a medical marijuana card.

LOL!!

i think i'm going to end up with this setup afterall.

- Staggered -
(2) 20x9 Vossen VVS-084 Black/Machined (Chrome Stainless Steel Lip) +25
(2) 20x10.5 Vossen VVS-084 Black/Machined (Chrome Stainless Steel Lip) +30
Front Tires: - 255/30/20 Falken FK 452
Rear Tires: - 285/30/20 Falken FK 452

I've decided to shell out a higher budget and get some Vossen wheels

Why does suspension matter exactly? Won't the springs compress enough over bumps that it will raise the tire enough to hit the fender anyway? Does the fact that it's at stock height matter since when the spring compresses that much it cambers in enough to avoid rubbing?

srs question.

Stock height is plenty of clearance for his setup with that size tire.

You didn't really answer my question. Why does ride height matter? Even at stock height the springs can compress enough so that the tire goes high enough to reach the fender. What I'm trying to say/ask is that if there's clearance at stock height, then their will be clearance at any height. Right?

Meh, under normal driving the spring won't compress that much.

If he was lowered with an offset at or more aggressive than where he currently is it would be an issue.

By chance, is your Z lowered at all?

Ok just curious. Nah my Z isn't lowered, but when I made the switch to wheels with a +15 offset and 285/35/19 tires in the rear, I would rub if I went over bumps or potholes or something even with stock suspension. Got the fenders rolled and now no rubbing at all.

Did it rub normally, or just over bumps?
