What if...

I have got my car on cilovers, and the rears have no adjusters on, so the arch is lower than the top of the car and i want the front to be as low as possible (i know i wont get it level at the height) but i have got on offset of 42 with my wheels so they have got 10mm spacers but if i take them off and put 5mm ones on am i going to be able to get it lower without scrubbing? i have already got it around 60mm but have heard people having it lower, not spending on it so playing with things have already got to satisfy my modding addiction

I don't think another 5mm tuck from the thinner spacers will help you much.. any more drop than that on 18's with 40 profile and you're heading into archwork territory.

whoah.. your sig pic is wayyyy too big fella
from that though it looks like you might get a few more mm out of that with the 5mm spacers, but you'll need to tug those arches, or at least get the lips rolled if you want the car on it's arse
