    Planning on installing Vogtland coils next week.

    I cannot find a definitive answer if you need spacers with stock split spoke wheels when lowered on Vogtland coilovers. Looking to have it lowered to 24 F and 25 R FTG measurement. I hear it will work then I hear based in the coilover brand I might need at least 5mm spacers all around. Anyone?

    I'm not sure where you heard some spacers may be "coilover" specific, but from a technical and mechanical aspect, coilovers have virtually no impact on pushing your wheel hub out or in when lowering your car. Lowering on spring or coils just affects caster, toe, and camber, not hub distancing. If you're running the OEM specific setup, it would be safe to say that you'll need AT LEAST, a 5mm spacer, to have a flush look.

    That sounds good for the flush look. I really do not mind if the tire and wheel sits inside the wheel well. Do not mind at all. So for this instance it seems I should be good.
