FK Clearance

I'm having problems getting my iForged Emotions to clear my FK Silverline X coils I recently installed

they're 18x9 in the front with a 245/35/18 tire

Any recommendations?

a 5mm spacer didn't clear
a 12 was too much

I'm going to try a 10 in the next few days

However, I need to know now:
will the 189s with stock tires clear no problem?
They're dropped about 30mm in the front and they're on the stiffest setting (if that matters)

I just need to be able to get around..

Thank you

Seems from more and more research the 189s have worked fine for people

Only reason I'm stillll doubting is because there is barely a finger gap right now between the tire and shock

I don't know the offset of the iForged Emotions..
I haven't been able to find them

I'll see if i can figure out how to measure it in the morning.. I've read about how to do it...


Long only dropped the Fks about halfway of how much they can go... so I don't think it's that much

I mean, I can still fit my arm (with problem..and rubbing against the tire..but still) between the fender and tire

Much stiffer and Bumpy

Then again, I AM at the stiffest setting
(I don't mind it too much in that area)

The rubbing... it hits the sidewall of the tires... you can smell the rubber

I put my 189s back on.. hopefully it'll clear and be fine...
