I will def post pix. i am just waiting and waiting and waiting for them to get here. Amazon Prime has ruined me when it comes to having to wait longer than 2 days. FML !!
I think it's funny how so many guys want to slam their SUV without addressing alignment issues [camber].
I played with lowering and 15mm spacers on the rear and the tires clearly rub the inner fender edge to the point of melting the plastic flare..
But ya gotta drive to see it's a bad idea..
But continue..

No rubbing issues at all on my 43 with 15mm fr and rear and 21's with the Amazon module in low pre-set settings (also far from slammed). You got a body back there ? LOL I think the 63 stock has more poke than the 43 so that might be the reason.

Yeah the 63s ABS fender trim may be sticking inward a bit too much with the stock offset and 295s to lower.
Better safe than sorry and the car does not need that much negative cambering the rear.

Im on F15/R20mm spacers on stock 21s, lowered on lowering module F20/R25mm. No issues with rubbing. I did my alignment after lowering using the module.
What settings are you lowered on for your lowering module? Did you get an alignment done?

Dude of course I got my alignment done before and after lowering my car, I even added camber adjustable upper control arm up front.
If you are not rubbing on the rear with 20mm spacers you are running far too much negative camber and for your fronts expect 3-4,000 mi. from your tires.
But I'll watch how all you guys with lowered cars and zero camber adjustment talk about your tires wearing unevenly...
There is only one way to do things right.

I have both links and module and have reset the height back to stock. I run -1.6 camber on the fronts and -2.1 on the rears.
Lowering the SUV is not the way to turn it into a "car".
Watch this video and ask yourself do ya wanna really mess up a good thing ?
Looks wise the 20mm/25mm set up seems spot on but I can't help but think over time your rockers are going to be roached from the front wheels throwing haymakers. Keep us posted. I would not want to be driving behind you - LOL.

i just did a 600 mile road trip no rock chips on my rocker panels. I’ve had the spacers on for over 2400miles.
