wheel spacers on lowered 18s
I need some advice. Changing out HR springs on FSDs to M7s. Supposedly about .25 lower. I also want to add 12MM to 15MM spacers?? Rims are 18 x 7.5, and tires are 215x35x18. I currently have a about a finger and a half gap in the rear.

Suggestions appreciated, 12 or 15MM, which manufacturer??
Thanks!!

I would drop the car first and then you would be in a better positon to gauge rubbing issues.
