245 x 275 plus 15mm Spacers?

Is anyone running this set up (245 x 275 plus 15mm Spacers) on their Coupe and if so:
  1. are you dropped on springs (preferably Eibach Pro)?
  2. are there any rubbing issues?
  3. was there any additional modification needed to get it to work without rubbing issues?
The reason I'm asking is because I know for a fact the 20mm spacers with my current setup (245 x 275 with Eibach Pro springs) will rub, but I would like to have the wheels sit more flush, but without rubbing and little to no additional mods. I was hoping not to go down to 10mm spacers because I didn't want to change the lugs, but if the 15mm spacers won't work I may have to.

Oh...pics would be greatly helpful and appreciated!!

15MM in the rear, 20MM in the front if you are running 245/275

That will even out the track, and wont rub,

Search my posts, I have pics.

Hey bro, I've seen your pics and I like how flush your wheels look. I have 15mm spacers all around and am considering getting 20mm for the front, maybe a switch with someone here, I don't know yet. But my question to you is, did you get the camber rectified with a front and rear kit?

Is that correct? I thought you could use 20mm spacers with 245 x 275 and Eibach / Swift springs.

Yes, both frt and rr kits. camber and toe are back to factory specs.

I rub slightly on big dips with 20MM in the rear.
Michelins are more square than others.

no...
20mm spacers + Eibach Pro Springs + 245/275 tires = rubbing whenever you go over any kind of bump and will eventually over time ruin your tires. If you stay with the factory 225/245 (I think those are the factory specs) you shouldn't have a problem with 20mm spacers.

Has anyone tried 255/285 on stock rims with 15mm spacers all around? I too am concerned with rubbing.

I don't think 285 can be done on stock rims.
