Default should I get spacers ?
I just bought Ford racing springs (1.25" drop) and I was considering getting spacers for the rear. I find the SN-95's really need them because the tires are quite deep inside the fender.
I've heard some people losing a wheel, and others rubbing alot on the fender when lowered.

What do you guys think ?

I dont "need" them, just thought pushing the wheels out would give it a nicer look.

just buy a set of thicker aftermarket wheels...spacers to push out stock wheels would look funky [:'(]
