If I get 235 tires, will that stop the rubbing?
i have the same spring as you and looking for spacers without having to roll or mod any fenders.

i know with a 20mm the rear will rub, what about the front with a 20mm?

Very slight chance, espeically with the rear. And if the roller knows what he's doing it wont crack. Issac knows what he's doing.

I'd still roll even with 15mm -- I've posted this many times in this thread already. You shouldn't be too worried about "rubbing on the freeway" what you should be worried about is bumps in the middle of a turn, such as up a driveway, or down a freeway onramp or something of the sort. Even with 15mm, if you're lowered that tire will eventually catch your front unrolled fender and pull it right out!

I still have yet to see an aggressive fitment aftermarket wheel that looks classy and polished on an S. IMO, the OEM AP2 V1's and V2's suit the car the best.
