Looking for a little confirmation before I order suspension...

After reading more threads than I can remember now lol I'm pretty sure this setup should work without any issues. Getting H&R springs with 10mm spacers front and rear and 17mm spring pads in the rear and keeping stock spring pad up front. Running OEM 19" with 235/35 up front and 255/30 in the rear. I'm going for just flush with the fender and I'd rather err on being inside than outside the fender. I'm sorta stuck between the 10mm and 12mm spacers. I've looked at about a million pics and finally just decided to ask for help haha! Anyone running H&Rs with 12mm spacers? Are you rubbing? Pics?

Actually after even more reading I guess it's 10mm in the rear and 12 in the front.

I have seen and sold 12mm all around or 12mm front and 10mm rears. All sit very flush. I have also sold 15mm fronts on 19's

If you can do 12/10, dropped on H&R's and stock wheels, then I think it will get you what you need. No rubbing and looking flush.

Yeah I love the look of yours, after I posted I kept reading some and found one of your posts where you talked about it and decided to go that route!

Btw, if u decide to stay oem wheels with spacers & oem tire size, u don't even need the thicker spring pads. The set up will look as good with the oem 13mm pads.

What if the OP went up to 245's in the front and 265's in the rear? Would this setup still be flush?

It will be flush but he will most likely rub with 265 & 10mm spacers & lowered.

In your sig pic is that with the 13 or 17mm pads in the rear? I hate to copy other people's style, but why to reinvent the wheel (lol) when someone has already done it right!

Thx, yes I'm using the 17mm pads cuz my wheel set-up is aggressive so it helps me avoid/ reduce rubbing.

But on my oem wheels, I sometimes wish the rear was lower.

H&R springs, 12mm H&R spacers all round stock with 19's Multispokes, OEM spring pads, no rubbing at all. Looks tight / very flush and 265 width Conti's on the rears.
