NEED HELP!! anybody running 20 in rear wheels!!!! 1996-2002 vipers

Names Todd,

Im new here and just bought a 1999 GTS with 5700 miles, has HRE 540's 19x10 front 20x13 back.. The car has eiback variable rate springs (lowers the car 3/4 of an inch.

My problem is that when im goin down the road or freeway and hit a dip in the pavement the rear tires hit and i smell burning for a sec. So I looked a little closer and if i hit a good bump the tires on the outer edge will smoke for a sec. I looked at the fenderwell and you can see that on the very inside of the painted lip of the fenderwell, tires are hitting.

I know alot of you guys are running 20's on the rear. HELP!! I dont want to change to 19's or even 18's... Do I need to use stock springs...or change the shocks.. HELP guys please!!!

THanks Todd

I will post a picture in a few hours

I was told that the GTS was actually non adjustable by the Viper tech. That only the ACR had the adjustable shocks...Is that correct ? or is there a way to adjust a 1999 GTS shock.?

Thanks
