Low Offsets with the Eibach pro kit

So I got my Volks put on today and I'm a little nervous to how putting my pro kit on it is going to work... The rims already stick out a little bit from the car and I'm just curious as to if the kit will help the wheels tuck and not rub or if it just won't fit period...? Any advice?

The Eibachs will most definitely bring the wheels in more. If its going to rub anything, I believe its going to rub the rear bumper bracket, and you'll just have to shave that. Lots of posts on that.

I'm also on Eibachs and have 20x10.5 (+37) with 285/30 tires in the rear. I will need new tires soon and I'm planning on going with 275/30 and adding a 10 to 15mm spacer in the rear. So that makes my rear offsets +22 t0 +27. Which is almost similar to yours. I believe you can pull it off with just trimming that bumper bracket. The Eibachs will certainly make the wheels sink in a bit and the little stretch from your tires will make more clearance to avoid rubbing.

Can I ask for pictures of how much it sticks out when you get your Eibachs on?

what Volks did you get?

It's funny how, somehow, I TOTALLY missed threads about the rear bumper bracket on here during the last 5 months that I've had my wheels but now I see it in several threads. Im glad I discovered this new OLD info LOL. I had been holding off on springs/coils because I didnt want it to rub. I thought my Michelins were just too meaty. So glad I know now.

To the OP, I can't wait to see your car dropped!

With something as minimal as the eibach drop and those specs, you won't rub. the stance should be on point.
