I really think you will need coilovers period to fit those. Its almost definitely IMO.
You WILL rub on the stock spring perches 5mm spacer or not. Hell you will rub if you run the wrong coilover(eg one with larger spring) you will need camber adjustment at the top hat to move the strut body away from the wheel/tire. You will have rubbing at the fenders/fender lining and body seems under full lock in the front AND bumper bolt in the rear. I have been through all these with my wheels. They are curable with money and tears but with what I do I need all the rubba I can get.
It doesnt really matter what tires you run with those wheels you will have to do all of the above.
You will need extended studs to go with spacers period.
You gotta pay to play or look like a gangsta!

I've been to vegas evo meets it was nice living in St George only being 2hrs away I was down there all the time, that's how I met and became good friends with steve, alex, manny, dan and met majority of the other vegas guys. I miss not being around so I can hang out

Steve is moving back to vegas though if you vegas guys didn't know, he's been in St George for prob 6months

If I still lived in Stg I'd just have everyone meet there we've done a few party meets haha aaah good times good times

and gonzo, i thought posting in the regional thread didnt affect post count?
It doesn't. The mods made that decision years ago to not include regional post count in overall post counts, but they are counted on whatever thread you post in. That's why it shows 7000+ for me but it won't show on my "actual" post count.
