Lowering car?

I have 20" Black Gianelle Cairos on my black GP. The ones in my sig. Would i be a ble to lower my car any with these or no? i had 18's before i had my 1st set of 20's. Had it lowered with b&g springs. Took the car to a tire shop to have the new 20's i had waiting for me mounted and balanced and when the put them on, the body of the car sat on the tires. Is there a spring that i could put on that wont make it do that again? would i have to get AGX struts to be able to do this?
 


...did you seriously just make this thread when i just made a thread about lowering in the suspension forum?

what the hell offset are your wheels that the fenders sat on the tires?
 
yes i did bio. and read the damned thing too. lol. I have no clue if its possible to lower with 20's hence why im asking.

but sh!t i dont even remember. this is just a guess but i think like +38 or something.
 
It doesn't matter whether it be an 18, 19, 20, if the offset is correct and the tire itself has similar if not the same measurements as the stock tire that came on the car.

I'm running 19x8.5's with a +38 offset, unless your offset is wacked it's your tire size. My tire has the same measurements height/width as factory and I have no issues at all with my B&G's, I did have to roll the rear quarter but that's it... If you check the post Bio did the 2nd picture for the B&G springs is mine.

yeah, im not sure how they can be +38mm offset and still be that far out in the fenders unless they are really wide. to tell you the truth i would lower it, roll the fenders, and see what happens.
 
245/35/20 is whats wrapped on these 20s. Well what spring and strut combo should i got with? anti pogo washers? gonna also get new sway bars and all the suspension ****. And also new LCA's as mine have close to 200,XXX miles on them. In fact all the suspension besides rear lateral arms, struts and springs and trailing arms have 200,XXX miles it. Bet this things suspension performance will be awesome if i redo with all new.
 


how low do you want to go? the lower you go the more work youll have to do to make everything fit and work correctly.

if you think your ride is rough and all youve got done suspension wise is your 20s then just go ahead and forget about lowering your car.
