Springs and spacer help.

I need some help on how much lower I can go without any rubbing problems.
Also how thick of a spacer I can get with rubbing problem.
Currently on eibach prokit which is about an inch drop. Front wheels are 20x8.5+38 225/35/20 and Rear wheels are 245/35/20+45. Any suggestion would help. Don't have enough funds for a coil over set so that's out of the questions.

you'll want coilovers so you can adjust the height accordingly without rubbing.
a shorter spring will def. make you rub

why not just run like that? it looks fucking fantastic..
if you want to go lower, YOU WILL have to go coilovers

and the fuck you want a spacer for?
its practically on the fender...

it looks fucking fantastic..
if you want to do more work, it'll cost you with coilovers and camber kits.

if you're too poor, save up.

Why do you have wider tires in the back even though all 4 wheels are the same width?

I agree with Justin; skip spacers and save up for coils! The Pro Kit commonly lowers the rear more than the front, and it appears that your car is no exception. Get coils to even out the drop and then you can worry about spacers.

Are your rear fenders rolled? What are your current alignment specs?

There's a minor gap in the front. I wanted spacer to the to of the wheel is flush to the fender. The wheels is about a half inch inside the fender, just wanted a more flush look, but thanks for your opinion, back to saving for coils.

The front is 8.5 and rear is 10, there not the same width. My fenders are rolled, I just put the wheels on havent got one yet waiting for more suspension work to get done or if done.

You didn't put the width of the rear wheels in your first post.

I would suggest 10mm spacers on all four corners. Possibly a 15mm in the rear if you have the room. What are your alignment specs? Do you have adjustable ball joints or UCAs up front or rear camber arms?
