ok, so lets say that i get some coils... should i get some smaller spacers than 20front and 25rear? i dont want to have any rubbing issues when turning at all. i know it will all depend on how low i set the coils obviously, but i dont want to have to have my coils on the tallest setting just because i have too big of spacers to go any lower than that.

you have someone roll them for you, its not that big of a deal its just the rear fenders have a piece sticking IN towards the car which, if you are low enough will cause it to rub against the tire but other than that you should be good

ok, i see what your talking about. will it matter that my tires are wider than the stock sizes? it looks like the tires will hit that peice for sure if i lower and get spacers. maybe id be better off with 20mm all around...

that would be perfect actually, since your rear tire is 10mm narrower than mine (5mm on each side of the tire) i should get a spacer thats 5mm narrower so that our tires would stick out to the same spot. is that correct?

255s should not rub at all, and try to see if you can find someone to roll the fenders because later on when you get wheels you will probably need to roll fenders. You will have to weigh your options and see what works best for you


well yah you can do a 20/20 but it will still be relatively tucked

well.... i dont want tuck, thats what i was trying to get around when i started this thread, hahaha. do the front fenders come rolled from the factory? cause mine are, if its not like that stock then someone did it before me, but the rears are def not rolled at all. i prob wont even be low enough for this to be an issue anyway

well you dont have to worry about rolling the front unless you are pulling off some aggressive offsets. But the thing is in my opinion you will still be tucked if you are pretty low with OEM wheels no matter WHAT (of course there is ways to be flush with oems but its not worth it) but it depends on how low you want to be. The thing to remember is the lower you go the MORE you will tuck, so it depends on what you want to give up

actually no, camber kits will take care of your camber. As you go lower the tires will push out more thus having MORE negative camber. Usually people use custom camber numbers to FIT the wheels in thus it tucks MORE
