whats up man. i'd be happy to give you the low down on my set up. i got some springtech springs off ebay for like $150 shipped. with my rims being 8" wide and a +35 offset i had to get spacers to clear the rear strut (the back of the rim was touching). I got the H&R 20mm spacer thinking that would be plenty of clearence and it tuned out to be too much. now my rims rub like a mutha. my rear struts are also shot and i think this contributes to the rubbing. im gonna get the 5mm spacers from H&R, H&R's are the best, they are hubcentric and come with extended wheel studs. this is very important to retain your thread engagment on the studs. im hopin this will take care of my rubbing problem, if not i will have to roll my fenders or get them cut. one other thing to consider is that my rims are +35 offset so if yours are different you may not have to get spacers to clear the strut. and if you dont push your wheels out then you will probably not have a problem with em rubbing. i only need like a half inch more clearence and i'll be good.
i hope this answers your questions, if you have anymore just pm me.
