Swift Springs wide tire setup 666M ZCP rub?

Hi all,

M4 ZCP running 666M comp wheels.

Running slightly wider tire setup

Michelin MPS4S
275/30/20
295/30/20

I'm planning on lowering with the Swift Spec R springs.
Do I need spacers to look flush considering my wider tire setup? I really would like to avoid making the car drive differently with the spacers.

However I also don't want to rub so i'll run spacers if need be...

Any advice on spacer size?

The sidewalls will be more squared with the wheel, but they won't be much more flush with the fender. To take up that gap you would need a tire that bulged MUCH farther out from the wheel than you want.
I had Swifts on my car with the stock 265/285 tires on ZCP wheels, and there was plenty of room for more tire plus spacers. I would guess that you could fit 295s in the rear with a 12mm spacer and not rub.

Thanks for that! What do you think about the front? 10mm?

I think a 12mm spacer would get it flush. You shouldn't have any rubbing issues with that. There's lots of room in there.
