Default Lowering spring = zero wheel / fender gap

Are there springs out there that cancels out the gap? Like almost no gaps at all.

There are pretty low ones...Tanabe NF210's come to mind...also you can try some coilovers - my friend has the JIC FLTA2 and you can go pretty low with that. Keep in mind you will need to get front and rear camber arms if you plan to go looow...

Do that and you'll want shocks that have shorter bodies and piston rod lengths too (sadly, no one does except maybe TcKline), unless no bump travel doesn't matter. Coilover's, especially one's with full height adjustablity are a better choice for this reason.
