Don't... then you'll be asking for rubbing issues in the rear against the fender.

white and whiter
love it when people search

simpliest solution when front tire's rubbing the coilover spring perch is to RAISE the car up. LOL I know it looks good, but the coilovers having all that tread on the shock tube for the perch doesn't mean you can use all of it. I learned it by making a slight dimple when the tire hit the fender when I took a left.
