+25mm seems to be the right size

thanks. his tire size was 245/40/18 so it should be the same for me (245/45/18). I'll look into it after i lower it on tein stechs and koni yellows. thanks again!

Eibach's 25mm spacers are the ones to get.

Why are you running a 245/45-18? The overall diameter will be too tall but it should look ok. 25mm is the right size.

i got my 25mm spacers, not that flush but looks better than none. lowered on s-tech and MS-T II wheels (18x7.5 + 50, 225 45, 1.5° camber front, 2° rear) could have gone 30mm

Here's your problem 7.5w with a 50mm offset??? You went completely in the wrong direction

^ yup. If your wheels were 8 wide with +50 like the stock wheels then it would be flush lol.

^ How you got these wheels has nothing to do with the OP's original post. Posting pics of a car without a OE setup with 25mm spacers could very possibility confuse the OP even more.

In all honesty 9K would be the best member to post up pics considering he made the original thread dedicated to this mod.

And your camber measurements are much closer to stock then they are aggressive
