I've bought H&R SS coils and i wanna buy wheel spacers. How many mm am I actually shopping for? Do i lower the car first and then measure? Thanks guys!

The spacer width depends on your wheel and tire setup. If your wheels and tires are stock specs, 10mm in the front and 15mm in the rear is a popular option. You'll also need extended lug bolts (unless you're doing / have done the wheel stud conversion). I have 10mm front and 15mm rear spacers on stock wheels and they sit flush with the fenders. I recently did the wheel stud conversion and am selling the extended lugs if you're in need of some.

Thank you very much! at the moment likely gonna stay stock. Changing wheels in my mind becomes way too flashy. With your spacers do you get rubbing ?? Again thanks man

No rubbing at all, not a single time. My car has the M-Sport suspension and hasn't been lowered.

There are some cars on here with very aggressive wheels, tires, and lowered suspension setups. I haven't heard of rubbing issues with coils and spacers on stock wheels and tires. The adjustability of the coils should help you avoid those issues.

If you go with a more aggressive setup and run into rubbing issues, you could roll your fenders.

Here is an example:

yes, install springs, let it settle a bit, get an alignment(so the camber is set), then measure for spacers.

plumb a straight edge from the fenderlip and measure the distance to the part of the tire you want it to be flush with. that distance will be the spacer thickness you require.
