I'm looking to get 20'' rims soon and would like to mount them on 285 tires in the rear to give it more of a stretched/vip look. My dilemma is that I'm running on H&R Sport Springs right now which is a very aggressive drop.

The question is will I have to roll my fenders in order to fit 285 tires in the rear with this kind of drop to prevent rubbing?

Thanks in advance!

depends on width and offset of rimmies dude...i have 285-25-20 on a 20x10.5 i dont know offselt they wont tell me..lol..but i dont rub and i was on tein s techs with blown shocks...

some are running wider...my next tire will most likely be 305-25

also the fenders are already cut from factory...or pretty much smoothe as can be

You will likely rub with H&Rs. I rubbed my 285s on H-Techs until I trimmed the fender lining and shaved the bumper bracket.

also depends on what kind of tires...some are more round

+37 offset so not that aggressive. My aggressiveness came from the 285.

What tires are you running? I'm planning on getting the Vossen 082 with 285-25-20 tires.

I was originally gonna get the T1Rs, but those look like they will rub. What about falkens or proxe 4?

im running vredestein sessanta ultrac..great tires!!! they are more round...i did my homework and waited a while to get my set up...there were only a few people with wheels on a G37 when i get mine...now there is more info...im running pro kit eibach now, and still no rub obviosly..feels like im off roading..lmao....

alsoi had my alignment done to the most that it can go on stock stuff...so def keep doing ur homework on ur set up

t1r's are more square also proxes 4 are all season, so i would imagine they are very meaty

Yeah I gotta do some more homework. I've never heard of vredestein are they a big tire brand? Also the H&R drops it about 1.5 inches more than the eibachs so that could create some problems.

like i said i had tein s tech for G35 which is same as h&r i believe..

vredestein is a new import to USA...read the reviews all over the net..
