The quest for "Flushness" using AP2 OEM Wheels!
Calculations:
Lowered 1 inch on h&r springs.
I've had enkei rpf with ET 45 and 245 on the rear.
It did rub, but after rear tab relocation, problem was gone. Slight roll on the rear fenders.
Now I am running AP2V1 with 255 ET 65. The 255 are 10 mm wider, that means 5 mm on each side, and will add 15mm spacers (total of 20 mm) bringing the offset to 50 and -5 mm "offset" from the wider tires.
Basically 255 on AP2 V1 ET 65 + 15mm spacers = 245 on Enkei RPF1 ET 45 (9J).
More info on rpf1 in that size is available on the site

On that note, running 255 in the rear with 15mm spacers rubs, hard, on bumps and turns. I destroyed a set of rear tires at an autocross like that.

Front will be fine, rears SHOULD be. Wait, AP1 wheels? Yeah, you can run all the way out to 20mm in the rear. I would recommend going to a 225 tire, though. 215 is more or less bicycle tires.
I see a lot of spring combos mentioned in this thread, but have not seen much regarding the swift spec R springs and what spacers would work. I'm thinking of ordering a set of these springs on my stock struts and would prefer not to pull or roll my fenders in any way.
15 mm front 20 mm rear for maximum flush-ness w/o any rubbing? please help! thanks.

anyone here willing to go more aggressive and straight trade their 15mm spacers for my 25mm?
i was running flush ap2 wheels for a while with these 25mills until i got new wheels. My new wheels could use some 15mm spacers...
