Im currently running on 166 M5 wheels which have 28 offsets on the rear with M sport suspension springs and 15mm spacers. I was thinking of changing my sport springs to an eibach prokit which should be 0.5 inches lower. If i keep the spacers and change the springs would there be risks of rubbing? or is there anyone running the same setup?...im using the reconmended tire size of 275/30/19 on the rear

Thanksss

I have the Eibach Pro-kit installed on mine and 166 (M6 version) ET 17 wheels with no rubbing issues and it looks like I have room to spare, so I dont think the extra 4mm would hurt.

Do it!
