big wheels & springs
so i may be getting some springs to hold me off for a while befor i get some coilovers. will i have to roll my fenders if i lower the car?
specs...
17x9 +63 all around with 15mm spacers all around
front tires 235/40
rear tires 255/40
i want to get the Swift springs... they will give me a 18mm drop for front 25mm drop for rear.
thanks
mike

You are not going to be fine with that wide of a wheel and a 15mm spacer. The tire sizes you mention are also not very good for your car. The 235/40R17 is over 1/2" shorter than your rear tire.

Why are you running 15mm spacers with those offsets? I hope you have extended wheel studs as well.
