Until then, I have awful poke up front.

Shoulda went with coilovers, as they do not require any spacers to clear.

I'm curious with your set up, even with the eibach pro springs. The front still pokes out? if thats correct? I'm debating on getting 17x9 +45 or 17x8+35..

With 10mm spacers it sticks out bad, and allegedly +45 does not rub with coils, as most are a smaller diameter spring perch.

The rear has 3mm spacers btw.

Stock, springs or coils?

I'm getting eibach pro springs that will drop 1.5?

Don't go +45 on springs/stock suspension. Only coils won't rub a +45


Pros drop 1" all around.

This is +45 with a 10mm spacer, stock suspension.

So these pictures are of a STOCK suspension with 17x9 +45 RPF1's with a 10mm spacer all around.

NOTE: THERE IS NO WAY TO DO THESE SPACERS WITHOUT CHANGING THE LUG SPINDLES. I BARELY HAD TWO TURNS BEFORE I COULD TURN NO MORE. I NEVER DROVE THE CAR LIKE THIS. I ONLY LET IT OFF THE JACK (and that made me nervous).

entirely stock

So I'll be picking up a set of rpf1's with these specs and I plan to do a 245/40 tire lowered on ST coils. Should I expect any clearance issues ?

I would say no. As I am running stock suspension with 245/40 and the tire just grazes the perch.

Do you guys think if I ran a 3mm spacer with these just to get them to get a bit more flush when lowered would be unsafe. Or should I just stick to running just the wheels without spacers ?

Some tires are wider then others, even if they are the same spec.
Mine were touching the spring perch on eibach pro springs.

Since I went with coilovers I have 0 need for any spacers, however I am running a 3mm spacer in the rear just because I like the look.

[Ripp91]

So I picked up a set In 17x9+45 With 245/45 Tires On Them With A Decent Amount Of Life Left. But I'm undecided if I wanna keep these tires or not
Coils will be going in tomorrow too to get rid of the wheel gap
