Default Would 15mm spacers work on my car?

My car is lowered and it looks like it is lower than most other crossfires out there. I really want some spacers at the back to have that mean / sexy look but i am not sure it the tires would rub. the fronts rub "IF" i turn the wheel all the way to the right or left and make a turn. other than that, i have yet to experience anything rubbing anywhere.

here are some pics to help you guys give out more accurate advice.

If so, where to get 15mm spacers cheap?

thanks!

If you want to go the spacer route, remember to get hub-centric, like Eibach.Those of course aren't cheap but on your drive axle you don't want to economize.

But there are many other things for the price I'd consider buying for your alabaster white Limited first if I were you. Maybe a car cover that breathes since you park outside, or some dust free brake pads.

I wouldn't get 15mm on your car. I'd probably stick with 10mm or 12mm at the most.. Your car is sitting really low and I'd doubt your fender isn't going to rub against your tire.

This is sooo going to come off harsh, and I don't mean for it to, but...

Dude I love that you got a Crossfire, but you've got to realize this is a forum and not the crossfire help center. Please use the search button. It seems to me that you just want us to do your homework for you.

Sit down and read. You're going to learn so much more, because alot of people won't respond to these types of threads. Especially the more senior members, because they've already been there and documented all of it. Please don't take this as a stop posting, but instead take it as do a little research before you ask others to do the research for you.

Thanks! I actually spend hours of searching and reading here. I just didnt see anybody with a low car like mine had 15mm spacers on nor anybody mentioned that 15mm just wouldn't work.

trust me i have been non stop searching and reading here (hence that 15mm, i found that while searching). If i feel like that i havent found an answer for my question, then i would post a thread to seek answers.

I appreciate for your advice but i have been on forum sites for years, moderated a couple and well aware of how to use them and they "ARE" help centers in a way. You ask a question and another fellow member(s) answer it for you.

If i know the answer of a question, you better believe I will answer it no matter who is asking and if i feel / know for a fact that "THAT" question has been answered before, i will enlighten that person with a link to that thread!

thanks again and have a good day!

I will load some photos here later this week. In the mean time PM me and I 'll tell you what not to do when installing new spacers on your Cf. You can really screw the car up if not done properly.
