Can anyone tell me what kind of clearance issues (if any) needed to be addressed when lowering an LS with 20's? not sure on the tire size off hand.
Thanks

Search for the topic and talk to PGA2B
He has this done, and IIRC he trimmed the wheel well cover.

No major issues as long as you stay with a high offset wheel. Mine rubbed slightly in the back with a few passengers and moderate bumps.

I have the Eibach kit and 20's. I trimmed the front and rear inner fender covers and just recently rolled the rear fender lip as much as possible. After my kit settled I had a drop of 1.83" which was well above the 1.1" that Eibach claimed. I had engineers from Eibach (Helps to work at one of the biggest Eibach wholesellers in the country) come in and check my suspension to make sure I was not wrong in my measurements. They confirmed the drop.

After the "Adjustments" to the car I do not rub unless I have a full load of people in the car, and then it is only very minor over dips at higher speeds (65+).

Hope that helps.
