20" Combo and Spring Question??

I have 20 X 7.5 wheels with a 42mm offset. I also have 225/35/20 tires. I am looking at the SpringTech or Goldline springs to lower my wifes HHR. Will I be safe from rubbing or would I have to trim the rear fender lip.

Most likely you will need to have the rear fenders rolled and the inner fender liner trimmed to accomodate those wheels after lowering.

Pretty much anytime you go 18's or larger and lower the car - it's going to be required.

Hope it helps,
