Default Conflicting info if this will rub or not.... could use some opinions

Hey guys, I have a 06 ppw enthusiast, im planning on sticking with the factory 18 wheels. But im looking to get a more aggressive stance.. Im planning on lowering on eibachs pro kit, but I cant decide if i should get 25 mm spacers all around or 20 mm. Ive searched and found guys that say 25 mm wont rub, and others that said it rubs... (im not going to roll my fenders). If someone could clear this conflicting info, it would be much appreciated.

Thx Mike

OK, here are the specs on your current wheels/tires:

Front
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 24.4
Tire: 225/45/18
Rear
Size: 18x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 25.8
Tire: 245/45/18

Based on that, you could definitely run a 25mm spacer up front and even a 30mm spacer in the rear without issue.

Running 25mm on all fours would bring you to a 18x8 +5 in the front which is the same as a 9" wheel with a +18... and an 18x8.5 +8 rear which would be the same as a 10.5" wheel with a +33.

The front at +5 is approaching agressive, but the rear at +8 isn't all that agressive. You could easily go to a 30mm spacer out back IMHO, and even go to a 40mm if you wanted to go agressive, but that might require a fender roll.

^+1 25mm front & 30mm rear on stock rims/tires --> no issues.
