    Hey I read that I may need spacers to run these coilovers so I wanted to double check. I have factory size sparco assetto garas which are 17x7 with +32mm offset. Will these clear? Right now there is about half an inch between my tire and the stock strut.

    You will gain space between wheel and spring with virtually every coilover compared to your stock spring, as the coilovers are normally narrower.
