I have a 2001 monte SS. I put 245/35/20 on my car but i also want to lower it. What would i have to do in order for no rubbing to occur? And what spring would you all recommend?

 

I would have lowered the car before putting on the wheels

 

Why? Thats kinda backwards lol....You would want wheels first to see how much clearance you have to lower the car, instead of putting springs on first, then putting wheels on, then having to switch out wheels if its rubbing or anything.

But imo, take a measuring tape to see how much clearance you have, then post the stats here. Your wheel wells are much smaller than 7th gens, so I couldnt say how much you should have.

 

What I ment by this is to lower the car before I got out of stock rims and going to something bigger then the car is already lowered and you know how big of rims you can go with.

 

Oh yeah, basically samething, just other way around, ahahaha. But if 18s rub on a 6th, then, i could only imagine how much of a lift it looks like you would need for 20s. lmao. Idk, I only had 17ths on my last 6th gen, and 20s look smaller than my 18s on my 7th gen.

 

Wheel diameter has nothing to do with rubbing; wheel WIDTH does, and actually the sidewall profile of the tire can be a factor as well. I have the factory 18's (7" width) on my 06 with a 1.8" drop and I don't rub. So just to say that 18's rub is a false statement. Anything wider than an 8" and you will start to run into potential rubbing issues.
