Will i need spacers!?

MM135 · 10-01-2012, 11:51 AM

I just bought:

- Eibach Pro-Kit springs w/ Eibach pro-kit dampers
-Ground Control Camber Plates
- VMR V710's 18x8.5 et45 / 18x9.5 et55 with 225/255 tires

I have all of this waiting to go on the car and i was talking to a fellow 1er and he had said that with this set-up the tire/wheel will rub against the spring and i will have to get spacers...

DOes anyone have any experience with this??

THANKS!

Shouldn't rub the spring/strut in the front, for sure will not rub in the rear.
