Default Spring Spacers

Has anyone ever used these? I recently put some 17" wheels on and they rub slightly on the front fender if I go over a nice bump in the road. I could roll the fenders or I was looking at these spring spacers but I am not sure if they are good to use or not.

Thanks for the help.

They are a cheap way of raising you car to the detriment of your suspension travel and ride. And they fall out. But, if installing stiffer springs or rolling the fenders aren't in the picture, they will help keep the tires from rubbing.

I have all my fenders rolled. I like the look of a lowered car, so I say roll the fenders. You can do it your self or take it to a body shop and let them do it.

I will probably just roll the fenders. Did you use a baseball bat? Does it matter if its aluminum or wood?
