H&R coilovers work with stock wheels?

Since my Iforged aren't ready I was forced to buy some used C32 stock wheels. My coilovers just arrived and I wondered if the stock wheels will fit and would spacers be needed because of the larger springs?
Thanks

The coilover spring is actually smaller than stock in length and width at the bottom as it tappers down to conventional coilover spring diameter of 60mm.

The problem you will encounter is when you lower the car to a point where the adjustable spring perch collars come in contact with the inner sidewall of the tire or even the wheel in some 19" applications. Your stock 7.5" width wheels with 225's should not cause any problems throughout the adjustment range. Your custom wheels should have taken this situation into account in their backspace measurements calculations to ensure proper clearance as this becomes very important when fitting larger wheels onto the car. Depending on what size wheels you ordered, tire size will also come into play.

You'll probably hit the larger spring when u lower it to the max not the adjustable perch itself. My stock 16' wheels barely clear the spring WITH a spacer, go figure.
