Hi guys

The current space between my tyres (front and rear) and fenders is about 1.25 inches all around. I am running 20 inch wheels with 275/30 tyres in the front and 305/30 in the rear.

Would like to know the space between the tyre and fender when lowered as I am debating if its worth lowering my car or just keeping the height as is.

Crappy photo but this is how it looks from the side
IMO, that actually looks very nicely done. I really like it! No need to lower.....

Itā€™s 1.25 inches from the tyre to the fender - there is a gapā€¦just debating if itā€™s worth going through the hassle of lowering it or if it looks fine visually

1.25" is nothing. I think from factory, it was like a 4" gap lol

I am getting ready to go to 20" rims with the same tire sizes. I did not want to lower the car. I am stiffening up the suspension though. I think this fill up the wells fine. Lowering is nice for tracking, but it is a pain to get under the car and lift it.

Nah mate, it looks perfect. I wouldn't go through the trouble to trim that a bit, unless you're dying for it to look slammed.

I would leave it. The suspension on these cars is quite dynamic. You will need some travel for all the uneven roads.
