My biggest concern is spacers. If I don't run them will I hit the strut? And then obviously if I go too wide with them it'll poke too far. I do need to go way lower and that's coming within a few more paychecks. And then do you guys recommend rolling my own fenders? I can get a roller a head and a heat gun for less than some people in Colorado want to charge.

I definitely don't want it to look bad :/ I want it to look awesome no matter how many potholes and speedbumps require avoidance.

Just buy some coils, slam the car, roll/pull the fenders, relocate bumper tab, stretch the tires, and call it day.
Hahaha I am stretching them. 215/40/18's are in the garage. Next step is the coilovers... and of course the roll/pull
hey, quick question. I have 17x7's sitting in my garage. I want to have a mild stretch but i've done my research and theres pretty much no point. So Im wondering if I should run 205/45/17's on these rims? Ill be dropped on FF1's. Also, im thinking of putting spacers in the rear as well

No, just run 215/45 and call it a day.
Thank you! should I go with a 40 or 45 sidewall?

Hey, guys, I used one of the offset calculators for my future XXR 535's. The problem is the calculator won't use less than a 235 on the 8.75" rims. What kind of difference should I expect since I'm going for 215 tires? I'm assuming the stretch would give me a little extra fender room and not fill the wheel well as much.

215 tires won't be much of a stretch but they'll fit a lot better than 235's would.
