    You talking about putting them on the rear mate? I highly doubt they will scrub since the wheels just get more and more camber the lower you go.

    I have one mate with 19s and super lows and another with 20s and he's stucking rim and doesn't have a problem.

    front = yes it will
    rear = depends on tyre size and guards will have to be rolled.

    what rim size running now?

    I have ssl's aka ultralows with 17's and I have no issues at all. The only way you will have issues is if you have wide tyres(265's+) or huge tyres lol

    Weather it's 16 inch or 20 inch.. You have to have the same sized tyre in diameter. And ultralows which are not equivalent to sssl's aren't that low lol you can go lower and still be fine

    SSL's are Ultras. SSSL's and just known as triple sl's. I've spoken to the boys at King Springs about this.
