- 225/40/18 Front, and 245/35/18 Rear tires
- I'm currently dropped 7/8" from Eibach Pro-kit
- Currently have 20mm/25mm spacers (which I won't use if everything is calculated right)
The only thing I'm not sure of is the clearance to the stock struts.
What do you think of this setup?
My goal is to keep the wheels/tires flushed without poking too much.

Staggered is not good for tire rotation.
Fronts are good. Shouldn't rub.
Rears will poke. Everyone's definition of poke is different though. You aren't lowered much, so you won't have that much camber, so it will poke more than someone who is lowered more with more camber. I'm on 18x9.5 +34 on 255/35, lowered about two inches, I rub on the rear bumper tabs and I poke slightly with 2.7 camber. You might rub on the rear bumper tab, but fenders are fine.
With only springs, I would suggest 8.5's all around. Plenty of clearance in the front, and ability to rotate the tires, and no induced understeer.
