55mm shank. Our stock shank is 39.9mm or 40mm. Go to radusadirect.com believe our ball seat is R12

Alright thanks. My front tires are stock size and seem like they will rub the coilover even with the 15mm spacer from it being so low. I guess im going do get smaller front tires. Whats the smallest tire i should put on the front 16s

You should think about converting to studs - makes the whole process much easier.

You probably just want a thinner sidewall. What tire size you have. With tires the first number is the width second is sidewall height which is the percentage based on the width third is tire dimension

So sidewall with a 40 is 40% of the tire width

are the wheels staggered? if not I'd do the same size all around that way you can get more out of the tires and you can rotate them to all four corners.

Get some stretched tyres. Should minimize rub.
