Vmaxx, need spacers?

I have stock S Lite wheels 16" and I am going to be getting the Vmaxx Coilovers soon. What size spacers do I need to Slam this baby 2"+ ?
16mm or is 12mm enough? Also do I need anything else? Thanks.

Whats the wheel width and offset and what tire size are you running?

My inner sidewalls up front rubbed on the adjustment ring on the strut and carved in a neat little trench all the way around the tire.

My specs were 16x6.5 +48 with a 195/55/16 tire. I would say a 5mm spacer would have done the trick. I just switched to a way lower offset wheel tho so I cant say for sure. 12mm would be more than enough.

That sounds about right but I will check them today. So the 16 would rub too much. 12 is prob the way to go im thinking. Thank You!

12 will probably be good. I honestly dont know how much clearance you're gonna have with the fender but that'll all depend on how low you go.

You'll definitely tear up your inner sidewalls without a spacer
