want to keep tire/wheelwell flush

hey guys...just recently bought a set of coils, when dropping my car, i want to keep the tire/wheelwell flush, and lower the car as much as possible without rubbing...am i going to need spacers to do so?

i've looked around, but can't seem to figure out if that is in fact what's going to keep the wheels from looking dopey..

thanks!
keith

i only want to go to where i've got no wheelwell left, but the tires flush with it..you think i can squeeze 30s?

i don't know too much about all this...just trying to figure out how flush i can possibly get, with 225/40/19s in the front, and 245/40/19s in the back
