rub or no rub?

Do you think I can install m3 control arms without rubbing?
Setup... arc8 pss 235, pretty low on coils.

Shouldve thought of this earlier since I already placed an order for the control arms, luckily it hasnt shipped yet.

That looks like my 18x10 F14s up front and my KWs... I would be very suspect of the control arm kit working. How much room do you have on the outside edge? Might need a 3mm spacer if you can still have some tuck.

Yikes that's pretty close ...

Bring some 3-5mm spacers with you when the parts get installed ...otherwise you may not be able to drive out of there.

Thats with 3mm spacers... I would probably need 5mm spacers with camber plates. I probably wont do it just for the m3 control arms.

Thanks for your input.
