Swift springs and wheel gap

I have a 2011 G37x coupe, and recently got 19x8.5 blaquediamond BD11 wheels with 245/40 tires. I upgraded from the stock 18s and now the wheel gap is much larger (see pics below). Does anyone know if swift springs eliminate the wheel gap or most of it? Definitely not looking to add camber kits right now as well.​​​​​​

I’m on the Eibach Pro Lowering Springs and the wheel gap is really small, I’m also running 20/25 wheel spacers and it really pulls it all together

@veexr Not sure which stock 18's you had but you should be able to find out what the Swift springs drop are and then use a tape measure to see where the new line would be once measured.

G37x on swift springs with 245/40/19 this was taken a few days after the install. But, it settled down a bit more after a few hundred miles of driving.

Th wheel gap will look worst whenever you go bigger wheels without lowering the car. Especially on an AWD G, the gaps on it look much worst. Bigger wheels on an AWD accentuate the gap horrendously.

Were you able to get alignment to spec with just a wheel alignment?

I bought front, and rear control arms. But when I first got it aligned I was close to -2 camber all around.

245/40 seems a bit too small, 1.1% smaller than OEM 225/45 19 to be exact. 255/40 should fit better.

Here's what mine looks like with Swift Springs and 20x8.5 wheels and 245/35r20 tires. Ride is smooth. It handles better and eliminated the gap in the fenders.
