Default Swift Springs with HR 15mm spacers

I installed Swift springs and HR 15mm spacers. I love the way it looks in the back, but wish the front looked a little more flush. I know members have used bigger spacers, but don't want to worry about rubbing. It kinda rubs a little already only in reverse when I turn the wheel. Would a 20mm in the front help that much or am I just being too picky.

ive had 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm all in the front of on stock wheels. im about twice as low as the swift springs go. i never rubbed on all of them going forward, but they all rub if you cut the steering wheel hard in reverse. and yes, ever 5mm makes a huge difference.

You can always do another spacer and a slight alignment with a minor increase in camber. Better turn in steering response and a more flush look!

What size do you think looks the best on the front? What size are you running now and do you run the same in the front and the back?

The car handles better and rides about the same as stock. Swift springs are great springs. I'm very pleased.

The car looks great. I rode in a members F recently with swift springs and I literally could not tell a difference in ride quality even with two people in the car. They deserve the rep they have

I'm currently running stock tire sizes, but when these wear down a little more I will be changing to 245 front 275 rear. The ride is so close to stock I can't even tell the difference, even with 4 people in the car.
