07 suspension lift

I recently got a good deal on a set of 20" Lenso rims with Falken fk452 rubber (245 35zr20 95y), color even matches the car.
Put them on my 07 ex....looks fantastic...but rubs the edge of the fenders on the rear and the inner wells on the front....just slightly and over bumps.
I looked into coilovers and other options to raise the car a few inches (as i dont want to roll the fenders) and when i saw the price said "spring boosters it is!"
I put a set of boosters all round and the front was fine...the rear still rubbed on bumps so i threw another set in the rear. this seems to have fixed it all around.
Is there any safety or wear/ride problems with running two sets on the same coil?

Pic doesn't work...

20's on a civic? The hell, you think it's a donk? 20s look horrid unless you plan to cut, and bag the car.

It could look worse and only think it kind of works is because the Civic got bigger and beefier than previous generations.

:crazy: you're doing it wrong

True, but 20's on an 8th gen is still like 18's on a 6th gen.

I had to triple take when I saw the name of this thread.

This thread is full of no.

personally I'll suggest you to let it with stock suspension and trade the 20" for somes 17, or also you could do some fenders work, another possible solution would be to use smaller tires to stretch them on the rim and get some clearance between wheel and fender

if you're going to lift it, get rid of the 20's and pick up a set of rally wheels/tires.
