okay. i bought the privat net wheels. and the wheels did not clear the front brakes so some spacers were added. if i put neuspeed race springs.. would the car rub? cuz the wheels now stick out more and doesnt stay completely under the fender.

Size wheel, tire. ET and spacers might help a bit man.

crap... i dont know the spacers size but my wheels are stock except its 18 inch height... so im guessing its 235/45z/18??? or is it 245? forgot.. like all i know is that from what i see... if the springs lower my car so that the fender will cover the tire... then its going to run on the fender because the tire pops out. not really out but... just as much as the fender... its paralel to the fender...
i dont know if what im saying is clear to you... but try to picture it [:

TOugh to say man. Offset and spacer size is really what is imprtant here but if you visually think the tire will hit the fender then it probably will. Maybe take a string with a weight on the end and hang it from the fender(where it would likely rub). Hang it and see it there is room for a tire to fit inbetween if you know what I'm saying [:D] . Otherwise it's really hard to say.

my tires rubbed a lot after i added them with my coilovers.
you can roll the fenders and trim the wheel well liner if necessary. You'll probably be ok with 18's and race springs.
