stock height, spacers and tires
Would getting wider tires (245 f/275 r) and some spacers to make the stock rims look flush help with the wheel gap. Trying to figure our alternatives to lowering that will help with the gap.

I am interested to know this too, I am running the stock sport 18's and want a more flush look. Has anyone run spacers/wider tires on stock wheels here?

Nope it won't, I'm sorry you will need to lower your car, or buy 24" wheels. But then you'll have a bigger problem to worry about it

I'll let you know next Wednesday when the sustec pros get installed how 20mm spacers look on the car.

Ok cool.

To sit flush with 245/40 and 275/35, would I need 15mm spacers rather than 20mm?

Can anyone respond to the 15mm spacers compared to the 20mm. I imagine with a wider tire (245/275) the 15mm would be flush and the 20mm would poke?

Ok, just ordered my swift springs. May be getting rims real soon, so I'll wait for the spacers. Thanks for responses.
