A couple on the forum are running 20mm all around with stock tires and no rubbing. I am a bit concerned with running Eibach and 245/275 on 20mm that there may be some rubbing. Not sure, but have not found anyone running that combination yet. So that is why I was thinking 15mm which others are running with wider tires.

15's would still tuck in just a tad (wider tires wouldn't mess with wheel offset) I'd recommend 20's on stockies
Good luck

P.S. more pix to come tomorrow

Hopefully more pix will help you visualize but I don't think it'll rub.. eibachs n sport suspension combo is pretty stiff.. unless you dip so hard or go over a hump so hard the car wouldnt rebound enough to rub IMO i went over speed bumps with front wheels turned more than half way, no rubbing issues

You running rear camber kit or stock? I think you might be right about the rubbing. I just did a quick calc, and those running Volk GT30 +35/+37 are pushing the edge out +21mm in the front and +27mm in the rear compared to stockies and they are not reporting rubbin with 245/275.

I think I'm going to go with the exact same setup (20mm spacers all around and the Prokit). Looks really good!

Sam... sorry to hijack your thread but.... I'm looking into some aftermarket wheels.... going to be 19X10 in the rear with my existing 275/35/19 tires and 19X9 in the front with 240/40/19 tires..... so I am curious if spacers are even necessary on this type of setup...

Ok so the Version II spacers you must check that the wheels have open slots or cavities such as http://www.ichibausa.com/15albowhsp6.html

Great job.. Can't wait to see some clearer better quality pictures.

Also, when you get the chance Sam can you make sure to take a picture directly from the rear. Give it a little distance as I want to see what the actual stance of the car looks like.

Thanks! :-)
