Hello, I recently had Eibach Pro Kit springs installed, the car dropped maybe an inch.

Has anyone done this on stock sized wheels and added spacers? Any rubbing?

And instead of a spacer for the back would a wider wheel be better or would that look awful?

Thanks

Not sure about the wider wheels in the back but I'm running 15mm spacers on a wilwood bbk and they look great! No rubbing during daily driving so far.

Eibach pro-kit lowered with Garage Line spacers. It rubs pretty good up front over significant dips/bumps in road, but nothing I see as a concern.

What about while riding with passengers? If it only rubs during bumps I'm cool with that.

My winter setup uses a Pro Kit with 20 mm spacers all around. After bending the fender tabs in, I have to try really hard to get it to rub.

Nice ride, and thanks, think I'll go ahead and space them out.

25 mm spacers all around with a 245/40/18 tire size.

I’ve had 2 passengers in my car weighing roughly 180 pounds each. I gotta say the slightest bit of uneven road, the wheels will rub harshly on the road. But when I’m by myself driving most of the time it’s totally fine. I just slow down and drive slower than usual on dips and get no rubbing.

thanks, hmm in this case I may pass on the spacers. looks a lot sharper with spacers though. appreciate the info.

This was on swift springs and 20mm/25mm spacers. Do the fender tab mod and not much rubbing will happen. Big bumps a little, normal driving with a passenger was never a problem.

I'm on HFP wheels with eibach pro-kit and 20mm and 20mm Garageline wheel spacers front/rear. Only rubbing on big bumps/dips. My Garage has more information! :)
