wheels first then springs? or vis-versa?

should i install the springs first to check if the wheels will rub or not, or does that not really matter?

What do you mean, if they rub? Get the springs first to see if the stock wheels rub? I doubt they will, unless you can drop it to the ground.
I got springs first, because I didn't want to go plus one, or two, and have the wheel gap look even worse.
As long as you search, and listen to what other people have done, and choose your wheels/tires wisely, they shouldn't rub, or at worst you will just have to trim that d*mn tab.
What springs and wheels do you have in mind?

I was going to go with Eibach Pro Kit with Trafficstar DTS 19x8 +50 w/ Toyo Proxies 235/35R-19

Maybe comptech springs. Anyone got pictures of both? Any noticable difference?

NIce set up. I dont think you're gonna have a problem with that high of an offset. Just trim the plastic tab and you'll be fine. How much is the rims gonna cost you? i was planning on getting those also.

if you really want a used set... theres a shop by my house that has it. I just saw it today. 19x8 with falken tires for 2500. there was 2 choices. the dronell or the traffic star. i chose the the dronell. So if you still want it i can help you get it. It is sliver.
