dagame,
Depends on when the picture was taken. I have tried different mags/tires/suspension combinations. I would assume you are looking at reducing the fender gap. These were the different combinations I have used:
1. Stock mags, tires and stock springs: fender gap = ~2.13 inches.
2. Stock mags, tires and Tein sksa0g1boo: fender gap = ~1.13 inches. (hated this as I would always hit my driveway even without front spoilers)
3. 18 inch mags, 225/45 tires and stock springs: fender gap = ~1.45 inches Most comfortable ride, even better than stock wheels and tires. Car looks lowered even with stock springs. Speedometer reading is lower than what it should be but hardly noticeable.
4. 18 inch mags, 225/45 tires and tein springs: fender gap =~ 0.45 inches. Ride still comfortable, about the same as stock wheels and tires. Car looks slammed even though the height of the body is still the same as stock. Best compromise for slammed look and comfort. Speedometer reading is lower than what it should be but hardly noticeable.
5. 18 inch mags, 225/40 tires and stock springs: fender gap = ~1.9 inches
Gap is too big for me almost like stock and ride comfort is worst than stock tires and mags.
6. 18 inch mags, 225/40 tires and Tein: fender gap = ~.9 inches
This is the setup which produced the most slammed look on my car. Worst ride comfort. Need to be careful even just for sudden road dips at high speed.
7. 18 inch mags, 235/40 tires and stock springs: fender gap = 1.7 inches
Very comfortable ride, tons of grip. Looks already lowered. For me this is the best daily driving setup and what I use the most. No problem with clearance at all.
8. 19 inch mags, 235/35 front 245/35 rear and stock springs: fender gap = ~1.56 inches. Just new had to go with these to clear my big brake kit as I don't like using spacers. Need to try it out for a while to give feedback. Will try to drop it on the teins after 2 weeks to see how that would feel.
9. For my son's track practice, we go with the 18x235/35 + STI pink performance springs which just drops it about .6 of an inch but gives improved handling.
My advice to you would be before you put on lowering springs or coil-overs get the wheel and tire combo you want first then drop it afterwards. The ride height, fender gap and stance is greatly affected by your choice of wheels and tires.
Hope this helps you out.
