wrong offset question

ive been running with my ar rebels for a few months. they are th 17x9s with the 25mm offset, my only concern now is lowering the car now. ive done the heater hose mod, and i was thinking of goin with 1in lowering springs

what issues will i run into with wheels of the wrong offset and lowering the car, besides rubbing

The lower you go the more rubbing problems you will have. Front there is nothing you can modifiy, but in back you could roll the quarter lips.
