Spacer Inquery

Just wanted to ask if running a 5mm set in front and 15mm set at the back would cause any rubbing issues with my setup. MY current setup is ST coils lowered approximately 1.5" on R112 Challenge wheels(17x7 ET 42) wrapped in 215 45 tyres.

I've searched around but did not find a definitive answer. Thanks

I too have R112 Challenge Wheels but with 205, 45, 17. I'm lowered about 2" with Bilstein PSS10 coilovers and 5mm spacers in the front and 15mm in the back. I don't ever have rubbing in the back but do occasionally on the front during aggressive 90 degrees cornering. If I raise the car from 2" to 1.5" lowered than I'm sure I wouldn't have any issues.

BTW, I believe that the R112 wheels are ET48
