Hey Jason, if you're rocking a 15mm spacer in the rear, that means you have a final offset of +35, which is really low! I only had a 10mm spacer in the rear when I had it on my car, with a final offset of +40. I had my camber maxed out to -3.x and I was still rubbing. If/When you do lower your car, it will rub for sure, since you're running them 5mm more aggressive than I was.

The spacers I got from you are the 15mm (or 17mm.... I forgot now) ones I believe. Jason, if you start to rub, I still have 7mm spacers I will trade with you if you decide to go that route.

Hey Edwin, the spacers that came with the wheel's were Ace's spacers, I still have my 10mm spacers. Jason, once you lower the car, you can actually run them without spacers and it will still be aggressive enough. I think it would rub even with a small 7mm spacer and a proper alignment. Feel free to try it though and prove me wrong so I can run the same setup! I'm currently running 19x11 +50 no rubbing.

Yeah I am probably go to go the damptronics route unless anyone has a better solution for a good street coilover with the possibility of a few track days.
Yeah I will trade with you!

From that pic, I can tell you right now, when you drop it, and leave it as a 35mm offset, the tire will rub and shred on the metal tab that connects the rear bumper to the fender. The ET25 LM's can only fit on the 997NB if you run a stretched 275/30/19 or 285/30/19. I ran ET25 Work brombacher's with the 285 setup and didn't rub at all.
