here is the clearancing i was talking about earlier where the tires rubbed a little.

did I miss that post?

With stock height you will not rub with any wheel/tire combo (there are limits of course), hell you could fit 18's in there with the stock suspension.

I have some rubbing when turn hard to the left, but im also running 17 inch wheels (205/40/17) with a 4 inch drop.

That same 4 inch drop does not rub on my stock 14 inch wheels with my 195/60/14 winter tires.

no more rub 4 me. sledge hammer!!! have 18s 215/35/18

Today I test fit some 15's 6.5" wide rim 205/50/15

How'd they feel?

I didn't get to drive. The front wheel would not go on all the way. These are not the wheels I am putting on but will I need spacers for the slipstreams? I think I might be able to get them made at my work. but what size?

10 mm all around with longer bolts?

thats something you dont want us just guessing at.

measure. go buy a dozen or so 2mm machine washers, and stack them on the studs until you have enough clearance. i wouldnt go too much on the front, because my 7" wheels with a 35mm sits very close to flush with the fender, any more and it will rub i think.

Yeah, anything over 5mm you will want longer studs for. You shouldn't need much though, it wouldn't clear the caliper? That's odd.
