I just bought a set of the tanabe front and eibach rear springs (1 in. drop on front, .5 in. drop rear) and might be switching to wider tires 245/275 from stock 225/245 on the 19in. sport wheels. If i keep the same size as stock I'm going to run 15mm spacers all around, If i go with the wider tires should I still get spacers and if so what size? I'm just trying to get rid of some of the wheel gap and make the wheels more flush without causing any rubbing or other issues. Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

 

it will take some searching but there is tons of posts with eibach drop and 245/275 tires. with the stock wheels and 245/275 you will still want to use the 15mm or even 20mm spacers.

here is a thread i just posted actually, which will be very comparable to this. I'm lowered on eibach with 245/275 and my wheel offsets are the equivalent of a 20mm spacer in the front and a 15mm spacer in the back for stock wheels.

Thanks that thread helps a lot, have you figured out what's rubbing? and is it only 1 wheel that rubs?

 

its both the front. it is unique to me though, ive never see any1 rub from all the other research i did in the past of 20mm spacers and 245 tired with a mild drop.

also, fwiw my drop went 1/4inch lower than advertised. my front dropped about 1.5 and back about 1.25

 

You can also just get the spacers later after you've got the tire setup you want. Only takes about an hour to install on all 4 wheels and then you'll know exactly what will work for you. Here's a good clip for measuring spacers FWIW
