Hey guys so I really like the look of spacers on a lowered car. Right now I’m running 25mm spacers with performance package rims and Michelin tires in the factory size. I currently have a little poke almost flush at stock ride height so I’m concerned that if I do lowering springs it’ll rub or hit the fender. If I was on the pirellis I’d be confident but these Michelin tires are just so wide with the curb protection they add. I know lowering should add some camber to help and the wheel tucks inward as it goes over a bump but it still concerns me. Can anyone confirm whether they have this setup and if they have any issues. Thanks

I do not have the same setup, but I did have a 25mm spacer on stock 20 inch wheels with coilovers that ruined 2 of my front tires when cornering. I suggest 17mm spacers. I do not have spacers anymore with different wheels.

I don’t believe I can do anything less than 25 with these wheels. I’ve heard a 23 on the back would be the lowest spacing with these. I’ll definetly keep in mind what you said though.

Rub or get rid of the spacers.
