For Those With Coilovers

Currently I'm running 19x8.5f (235/35/19) and 19x9.5r (265/30/19) with a 32 offset. I'm going to install H&R coilovers soon. Is anybody running the same setup and if so did you have any problems with rubbing? Somebody mentioned that depending on wheel size and offset I may need spacers. Thanks.

Most people I heard that have CO have HRE's so they know to order them to clear CO's. If you have Maya's I am sure you will need spacers, I had to run spacers(when I had the DTM's) to clear AMG brakes so I am sure you will need them to clear CO's. So how come I never seen pix of your car man??

Even with HRE's and running coilovers I still needed to run a 5mm spacer because the sidewall of my tire was rubbing against the CO spring... I can't say for sure if you need a spacer or not because other things factor in like brand of tires and how low your CO's are set and such... you won't be able to know for sure until the CO's are actually installed on your car...

Thanks for the info. I've tried to post pics of my car but I can't load them even at 1 megapixel which I believe is the limit.
