Will a 9.5" +38 wheel even clear the stock spring seat, or do you need coilovers for that size/fitment?

I have a 18x9 +35 in the rear with Eibach Sportlines, and have zero issues even at Auto-X hard cornering. You will get a "natural" camber of about 2 degrees if you lower your car so should be fine. I would get an alignment right after since I've seen some wacky rear camber issues after lowering the car. Pray to God you won't be so off that you won't need a LCA.

Im currently using swift lowering springs as recommended by a friend, but only as I wait for my ast suspensions to come in. I was a bit hesitant on running lowering springs at first but was quite surprised on how well the car performs at the track considering how civil they ride on the street.

Should've clarified, I meant the front spring seat on stock struts (or OEM style replacement, non coilovers).
