Installed VAP Springs and 15mm MotorTech Spacers - Great Setup!
#21
The reason I’m asking is because I’m in the UK and can get hold of 18mm spacers which I’d like to fit along with lowering springs and 295 tyres.
I was wondering if the extra 1mm would make the difference between rubbing or not rubbing on the arches at full compression?
I know it sounds a bit pedantic but it might make all the difference?!

Does anyone know how much clearance there is to the wheel arch using the 17mm spacers, lowering springs and 295 tyres?

If it rubs with lowering springs, it will eventually rub with the OEM springs if you hit a sufficiently deep rut in the road.

FYI - I have 17mm Spacers and 305 rears on OEM springs.
Just gone and measured... The closest gap from tyre to arch is approx. 50 ~ 57mm depending on either Port or Starboard side.
