Dropped w/ spacers

Hey hey. I searched and couldn't find a decent answer. My 08s is on stock 19's dropped on h&r's. I recently bought 20/25 spacers from the classifieds. I installed them yesterday and my rears are rubbing if I hit bumps. Has anyone run this setup and had similar issues?

15mm on the rear and 20mm on the front seem to be perfect, they do not rub and are almost flush fitment. Looks pretty aggressive to me. There's lots of pics on the forum with that set-up.

Also with the 20mm in back and 25's in front it didn't look right at all. So i'd imagine if i did 15 in back and 20 in front it'd probably look the same. Am i insane? Should I have the 20's in back?

I have 20mm all around with h&r springs and it looks perfect to me. Rear sits a little more aggressive than front. I'm also on 245/275 tire setup on oem 19s. Are your tire oe size?

Well I'm gonna take a look at the bumper bracket. And if that doesn't help I'll have to get another set of 20mm for the rears.

Just an update, pulled the tires and immediately saw the issue with the bumper bracket. I took my dremel and carefully removed the excess material on the tire side of the bracket. Took her for a spin after and.......... SUCCESS. You guys are the best!

My 2013 IPL is running SWIFT Sport Springs! Running IPL wheels with 20mm Black H&R Wheel Spacers. Ride is perfect 0 rubbing and I did not have to cut or shave anything.

See i put the 25mm spacers in the front and 20mm spacers in the rear, and it looked funny to me. So I swapped them around and it looked much better, but also caused the aforementioned rubbing.
