I have a base 2012 going to the 09-2012 sport wheels and my tire guy test fitted one of the front wheels and it was very close to the upper control arm with the car raised. Definitely not enough clearance for a 265 tire I was going to put on. I was under the impression this would fit without any other mods. What do you guys need to do the swap? I'm also going to be dropping it with swift springs but right now it seems like I need spacers and it just seems odd that I would need them just to throw on 265's , even the 245 by the looks of it would probably be touching still.
