Anyone running ECE 2/4 drop with 20" wheels?

I'm trying to plan out what I'm going to do with my suspension/brakes/wheels cuz I only want to buy stuff once.

I think I want to use the ECE 2/4 drop kit, and full disc swap.

However the wheels I want only come in 20x8.5. And considering 255/55 tires.
Is it possible to run this setup without constantly rubbing the inner fenders?

If anyone does have this, I would appreciate pictures.

Thanks in advance.

It all comes down to how tall of a tire you're looking for, and your wheel backspacing. I'm running air on mine now, but I had a 3.5/5 static drop before with no rubbing on 29" tall tires. I've seen guys run 4/6 drops with no rubbing on similar tires. You'll need to check your backspacing measurements to make sure you aren't too close to the outer edge of the fender, but otherwise I'm sure you'll be fine.
