Will it rub?

Hey guys,

My car came with 19" Champion wheels and stock suspension. I really want to slightly lower the car cause it looks "off" with these big wheels and stock height.

I'm planning on H&R springs with Bilstein B8 struts. This should lower the car about an 1".

I'm worried that these wheels might rub though. The back of the rear wheel states the specs are 19x110J 40. So safe to assume 19x11 with 40 offset. Front wheels have 19x85J 49, so 19x8.5 with 49 offset.

Does anyone run a similar spec wheels?

I would probably shot for the GT2 alignment specs so they have slightly more camber.

Thanks for any help.

Depends on the tire size.
I have similar set with H&R street, around -30mm lowered. 235/35 front and 295/30 rear. Rears got even 20mm spacers without rubbing, rolled fenders though.

Fronts are 245/35. Rears are 295/30. Fenders are not rolled and I could not imagine still squeezing in a 20mm spacer on top of that. Do you have any pics you don't mind sharing? Thanks
