Looking to see if these BMR springs will work with my wheel set up

I hate posting on here without doing a ton of reading, but my hour or so of searching hasn't resulted in much so here I am.

I bought the BMR set of 1.25" drop springs front and rear. I was under the impression that people with wider tires than myself had run these so I pulled the trigger. I'm starting to wonder if they will work or not now that my installation weekend is fast approaching.

I have 20x9 front and 20x10.5 rear wheels. Both will be wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 285/35/20 (I got a crazy deal so I bought 4 of them, maybe not ideal but what I have). I'm just wanting to know if these will rub the wheel wells at all or if I will be ok. I could have sworn Ive head of people running 285 front and 305 rear with no issues, just looking for some reassurance! Thanks

You should be fine with BMR 1.25" springs and those tire sizes. I ran those for a while before switching to 295s in the the rear.

^^awesome, thank you.

Just wondering btw, did you install the drop springs yourself? If so, did you purchase a spring compressor? Looking into them now, just wondered what route you went

Yup, installed myself, and no need for a spring compressor. The Camaro struts don't have much preload on them.

If your wheels and tires work with the OE coils, that indicates your offsets are fine and you should be good to go lowered.
