I recently bought the 20" chrome rims j-fire had listed on here and ebay to throw on my '05 black base coupe. Got them on no problem, looked AMAZING, but they were most certainly hitting the spring in the suspension. I am wondering if there is any way to make it work with spacers or am I just $hit outta luck? Also, is there that big of a difference between the suspension on the SRT-6 coupe and the N/A coupe? Any mods I could do there to accomodate? It is probably hitting the spring and rubbing about a half inch or less. I figured this is by far the best place to try to find these answers because there are no good 'custom' wheel shops around Indianapolis.

ANY INPUT OR ADVISE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

 

In the front or the back? Or both?

 

The problem is only in the front, the rears are great. Here is a pick on the suspension piece that is hitting. In the pic, the car is still on the lift and there is no load, and as you can see, that piece is awfully close. Once lowered and loaded, that part sits on top of the tire, not allowing it to move.

Thanks.

 

Yep, that is the dreaded top balljoint nut. Spacers will fix this, along with longer lug bolts or studs/nuts.
You want to pick a length that will give you ~ 3/8" space (one finger thickness) when on the ground. 10 or 15 mm will probably do it. Try here:
