alright so i have a 93' coupe on steelies and stock suspension. lowering the car and putting rims this weekend. so my question is what size spacers will i need for my rims to clear my struts? the seller mentioned the tires will rub on my springs. i dont have the cash for new tires, so i need to do spacers for now.

i will be dropping the car with eibach sportlines + KYB GR2 struts.
My rims are Sportmax 006 17x9 +20 4x114.3 with kumho ecta 55 series tires.

thank in advance, no flame please.

Lets see here...OH magic ball....What size spacer does iLOVEmyS13 need?

What does it say.... "SEARCH!"

Seriously, this thread will be locked soon. I would recommend cruising rimtuck.com for a similar setup. Also, the 55 profile tells us nothing without a width...

Buy 2 sets of 50mm spacers. That way you'll have 8. Stack the 50mm spacers together to make a 100mm spacer. You should be able to clear your struts then...
