As the title and description say, im looking for someone else with 20x9 m6 miros on the front. My front right wheel is pretty close to touching the spring...it doesnt rub or hit it but it is close. The reason im asking is im kind of scared that if i was to get some springs like the eibach pro kit or the h&r's would it me more likely to touch? So please anyone with the wheels ive listed please pm me or post back here! I want you to check the front right wheel and see if your wheel sits as close as mine does to the spring.
also forget to mention NON SPORT OEM SUSPENSION

The tire should not hit the spring. The tire may look like its close to the lower spring perch, but even with aftermarket springs, it shouldnt hit.

It wont touch because the lower spring perch moves together with the wheel/tire/spindle assembly.

My 19" miros rubbed the springs near the bottom on my H&R coilovers. I had to rotate the spring so that the bottom coils wouldnt hit anymore

kinda old, I know...
But it is a totally different scenario with coilovers than with normal springs on stock type struts. Lower perch on coilovers always sits lower than the stock type strut.
On the coilovers, you can remove the helper spring and raise the lower perch up to get your car lower again. Unless you regularly jump your car it will only be an issue when you raise the car in the air, and even then it is a very minor issue.
To the OP, as already stated, you have nothing to worry about, bottom of the perch moves with the wheel, in a fixed position.
