Just to clarify what spacers will work with this setup:

Tires - 245 F x 275 R
Springs - Swift (1.5 front, 1.0 rear drop)
Spacers - ?

Rear spacer - what is the largest spacer that I can go that wont rub? I would like to go at least 20mm.

Front spacer - I also want to go at least 20mm but considering 25mm - I don't want the wheel to be tucked.

If anyone has a few pics of this setup it would be appreciated!

Thanks a lot! I have 15 mm spacers all around. I will be installing the front and rear camber kits next week, so that should straighten the tires a little for me to see if I need bigger spacers. I'm happy with the current rear setup, but sometimes I think I should've gone with the 20mm spacers for the fronts.... We'll see what happens after the install.

One word of advice, do NOT go cheap on spacers! Lots of horror stories with cheap spacers causing vibrations. Don't forget to torque the spacer's nuts regularly as well.

I honestly did not measure the specific drop I ended up with, due to the fact that all springs are different. Therefore some will notice a bigger drop than others. In my case, I wish my fronts would've dropped 1/4-1/2 inch more...

Eibach advertises an average drop of 1-1.5 inches with their Pro Kit, which is what I purchased.

I've read all of this great info and searched for over two weeks as not to try to make it seem as I haven't done my research. I have a question and I know this thread is old but I dropped my G coupe on tein springs and need new tires but wanna keep factory look but more aggressive stance. My stock tires are a square setup is 225/50r18 all around. I would most likely do one of these setups on my factory 18x8 rims.

1- 225/50 front and 245/45 rear
2- 235/45 front and 255/45 rear
3- 245/45 all around

Which would work the best as this is my daily driver?
I'm leaning twards 1 or 3 but would like to know spacer size on those as to be completely flush with body and no rubbing or need for fender roll. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan
