It depends on the offset. Mikedeezy has Foose Speedster 20s and his car is lowered. When he came down here to Long Beach for a meet, he said that his wheels don't rub at all even with 5 people.
When I had my 20s on, I was rubbing a little in the rear right side, but I cut out a little part out of the rear plastic wheel well (spell?) where it rubbed and shaved off the metal a little bit where the bumper and the rear fender meet. After that no rubbing from the back at all, even with load of people. Probably even if I dropped it, it still wouldn't rub.
So depends on your wheels, if they kind of stick out a little bit, then you are most likely gonna have problems.

If you look at your wheel well, you will see where it rubbed, cut that out. It's where the bumper's edge is, from inside. I'll try to take a picture today.

Ok, here are some pictures.
I put my fingers so you can see how much did I cut out.
In red was the bumper plastic and fender metal part.

Thats so damn close to what Ive been talking about...Thats VIP styled all out .
Its not hard to get bigger then 20's on either, theres amongst pulling and rolling, but also stretching involved on the tires and wicked camber...sometimes as far as radiusing!
Thats a bit extreme on camber..should have stretched the tires!!!I love those air bags!!!!!!!

Thats a real crapy pic and a bit old but, soon I will drp it and set the camber pluss streatch the wheels. I would also like the EVO 6 lip kit to help the drop appear more dramatic. After I see what I can do with that, I am going to get spacers roll, pull, and get new tires streatched over pluss air bags.....Not only do I want to park low, but I already had my wheels stolen so I figgured it would be the best theft deterent system for them.

If you look at my picture hopefully you can tell, but my 20's still look like 17's.
People are putting 22's on Civic's !"FWD"! with anywhere up to "6" lips" on the rims! Ive seen and been in one and there was never any rubbing at all even with about 3 people in the back going on burn runs!!
Itas all about streatching and camber.

I have only rubbed twice that I can remember and only with a backseat full of people and a big system.

I cant wait to drop and streatch Im sick of this DUB style crap...I never intended on it, but its takeing me too long to get the VIP style like that black LS...WHOS IS IT!! I went to that site and its all pickups, I wanna know if he cut out his wheel wells and has bags or just springs and what size those wheels are.
I noticed that with 20x!0 accross I have alot of room to play with even if I dont camber my wheels, pluss if I streatch from a 245 to a 225 I will have a hell alot of room.. The only bad part for doing this if thats what you may want to do ( tuck the wheels and not rub) is you have to find a way to pull and roll the rear fender since the door is right there. Even if you roll the fenders right where the crease is that creats that bit of flare it would look nice! And add some room for bigger lips and wider tires...If thats what one is into.
