In the back the gap will get smaller but not the front. I have 19" and i can damn near put my fist in the front but i can't even fit 2 fingers in the back.

I have an 03 sport but you an 05 and they seem a little lower so you should be a little better off but it will look nicer with a drop but u can get by with it for the meantime. i need a drop quick! it looks bad...

not 100% sure but I think he cut a coil out back.

Either way these will visually enhance your car and fill in the wheel gap.

End if the day you always want to have the car lower the stock

btw...kinda off topic
if i go with the tire dimensions 225/40/18, i wont need spacers or anthing like that right?

if not, what's the most standard 18" tire dimension that I can just put the wheels and tires on without getting spacers?

does that apply for wheels with 9.5 as well?
