Default Spacer question

I'm currently running coilovers and I have a 2 3/4 " drop. Has anyone installed 20mm spacer on the front, 25mm on the back and experienced rubbing and had to modify anything? I noticed some guys are running 20mm on the front and 25mm on the back but, on stock height. I'm on stock 19" rims.

Thanks

With a drop like that, you'll rub for sure with those spacers.

Would love to see your drop.

If your tire is above the lip of you fender, simply measure the distance to the fender from the edge of the tire. If you measure more than 1'' then you should be fine (in back). There are exactly 25.4 mm in 1''. You could also adjust your camber slightly to help tuck the tire under the fender.

Thanks for the advice! I'll take some pic and post it up .... I should be fine with the spacers.
