Lowered with 25mm/30mm spacers?

i recently put on 25mm in the front, making it 25mm all around. i'm not dropped. it's a flush look with a small poke all around. if it was mildly

i recently put on 25mm in the front, making it 25mm all around. i'm not dropped. it's a flush look with a small poke all around. if it was mildly dropped on swift springs, i would say that it would be just flush. it comes down to if ur going to run aftermarket wheels or if you're dropped, or planning to run wider tires. for stock height on rays, my suggestion is 25mm all around

Thinking about getting a set of Swifts...do you think I'll run into any issues with the stock sport wheels with 15mm spacers up front and 20 out back? Stock tire size as well.

Thanks!

You'll not rub. I've recently switched my Swifts to H&R but still with the same spacer setting (20/25) and they didnt rub even when my tires are 265/35 fronts and 285/35 rears. The only setup that will rub is 25/30 so with 15/20 you're good to go

What about the same topic but on base wheels? I'm thinking 25 all around.

If I were you, I would take that money and save it toward a used set of the sport 19's.

The spacers are really a visual upgrade, and (just in my opinion) the base wheels don't fit the wheel arches that well. Perhaps with the proper drop, you could pull it off.

I simply haven't seen a car with the base 18s that looked appealing. Maybe someone just hasn't gotten the stance right yet.

I havent seen any 370s with base 18s that look good. I dont think I have seen any 370s with aftermarket 18s at all, which is a shame because I like 18's. There are more options and tires are cheaper.
