Spacer advice

[geokots]

I'm thinking of getting spacers for the spring when the summers go back on. Before I pull the trigger I want to make sure I confirm some details with the group first. Yes I searched the forum and did a lot of reading but I didn't see an answer to this specific setup.

I'm thinking of getting 1" spacers for both the front and back from AM http://www.americanmuscle.com/1in-billet-aluminum-wheel-spacers-2015.html

I have a staggered setup with
AMR 19 x 10 +48mm offset back and
AMR 19 x 8.8 +30mm offset front.

The offset makes it sit in a bit on the 10" wide rims.

I plan to lower the car with Eibach Pro Kit.

I'm less concerned about the front tires, other than the AM description only describes them for the back. Any issue with the front?

For the back, this is where I want to make sure I get it right. I want a flush fit to prevent rubbing. If it sticks out 1/4" I'm ok with that as long as it doesn't rub.

One more thing. Whenever I have to change the tire, I'm think of going from 275 to 295. Will this work with the setup?

AM thinks it'll be fine but they haven't tested this setup.

What do you guys think?

1" spacers with a 10" wheel is going to poke quite a bit, probably won't work with lowering springs. Especially with 295s

Why dont you just get wheels with the right offset?

In hindsight yes. Too late for that as I've had these since spring and any change of rims would be 1-2 years away.

That's what I was worried about. Maybe the best thing to do is consider it after lowering. Then I should have a clearer picture of the fit.

You need a yard stick and a tape measure, yard stick flat on the ground and next to your wheel well, measure the distance from the tire to the yard stick and buy spacers equal or smaller than that. You will get a flusher fitment and shouldn't have rubbing with a small drop.
