Default 20" wheels on lowered 11' GT

Hey all,

New to the forums and looking for a little help. I have a 2011 GT which has been lowered with the Eibach sportline kit. We didnt measure the exact drop when the kit was installed but its rated at 1.3 in the front and 2.0 in the rear.

I have been looking at the black bullitt wheels on Americanmuscle.com and have decided they would look great on my grabber blue pony. My question is with that much of a drop will 20" wheels have enough clearance or will i need to go with a 19" wheel?

I previously owned a 2006 GT that i put the same lowering kit on with 20" wheels and that was fine, though it seems from looking at it that the 2011 is alot tighter fit, though it could be my eyes fooling me. Any advice, input, or suggestions would be greatly appreciate.

thank you!
