So what's best for ap2v1 lowered on eibach pro springs only? No fender rolling. Maybe 10mm back 5mm front? I'll have to extend the lugs? Hard?

I too have Eibach's, but otherwise standard and think I'll get away with 10mm front and 15mm rear without any further modifications to the arches or bumper tabs. Yeah extended studs will be required.

I'm getting mixed results for the v3 - or wheels wihtout recessed holes in the wheel. Will the studs with a 20mm spacer clear? Or is it 25mm?
I'm really curious as I'd like to fit 20mm if possible

What's the lowest that I can go with using 20mm spacer all around without rubbing of course?

Front and rear fenders cut thanks to SFactor!

Front: 215 tire, -1.2 camber

Rear: 245 tire, -2.5 camber

Ap2 v1 wheels. Lowered on Tien type flex coilovers.

Looking for specific measurements. Such as fender to ground height and/or finger gap estimate.

I am mostlyt worried about entering a steep driveway while turning (at full lock) (I don't want to mess up the OEM fenders!). Does any see any issues with this setup?

Thanks in advance

Just gotta teach yourself to do your turning before entering the driveway. I think you'll be Ok with 20mm all around if your conscious of things that could cause the tire to hit the fender

I'm on Tanabe GF210 springs, and 15mm spacers all around. That seems to be the best for keeping stock fenders. You can try to go 20mm in the rear, but I wouldn't.

Easy fix to this. Don't slam your car, and you'll be fine. Lower isn't always better anyhow. Especially at 20mm all around, you shouldn't be lowered anymore than an inch or you're asking to wreck your fenders.
