I measured it recently and I was ~25" fender to ground on all 4 corners, not sure how that compares to your setup. I do think the offset and camber make it look like there is a lot less gap, but I'm the same height as I was here:

Sorry to necro, but is he saying go to positive camber on rear wheels instead of staggered spacer sizes?
Yeah but don't do that. Positive camber in the rear (at least too positive, especially more positive that the front) is not good for handling. That's a really odd suggestion actually, I've never seen that.Sorry to necro, but is he saying go to positive camber on rear wheels instead of staggered spacer sizes?
Also I totally disagree with what was said about tire sizes "required* for a 9" wheel. I'm running a 235/40 on a 9" wheel now, and the tire manufacturer says that's within their recommended range. In many cases depending on the brand even a 225 width tire is still within an appropriate range on a 9" wheel. Here's an example, check the specs listed under Rim Width Range:

That's information straight from Michelin, not something Tire Rack makes up.

What are those tire/wheel specs? That setup looks amazing.
Thanks! Check my build thread in my signature for the full info, but it's Konig Rennform 18x9 et 45 with continental extreme sport contact 235/40-18.

What spacers would I need to be perfectly flush on my mk7 gti lowered on VWR springs?
18x8 ET35 225/40/18 tires all around

Should already be there.

Those specs equate to the stock Austin wheels (18x7.5 ET49) with 20mm spacers on all corners. Spacer flush kits are 15mm front and 20mm rear.

Okay so if i put on my ECS flush kit spacers 15mm front 20mm rear that i already use on my stock Austin's on my aftermarket wheels they will be flush?

Yes, with custom wheels with different front and rear offsets. I'm running 19x8.5 with ET45 front and ET40 rear
What wheels are these, they're awesome?

No, I meant 18x8 ET35 is already the same amount of flush as Austins with 20mm spacers all around. You won’t need spacers in other words.
But the fronts will poke out 5mm more than the Austins did, with 15mm spacers.

Hey guys!
I'm planning to get some wider tires for my Stock Austins (235/40/18) between Indy 500s and BfGoodrich comp 2's as well as some spacers between the BFI or ECS flush kits (15mm front 20mm rear) I'm also lowered on H&R sport lowering springs. Do you think I'll have any issues with rubbing?
