            Why don't you want to run spacers, exactly? I'm fitting 15x8 +10 with no spacers and clear the calipers, so I wouldn't think you would need to run very big ones!

              ...yea...spacers are fine as long as you run longer bolts or studs or compensate and keep it hubcentric.

                i just heard that running spacers cause the front rims to shake .....
                ive been reading threads on e30tech and either way if i run spacer that they will shake at around 70+

                  ^ by that rational then any aftermarket wheel will make your car shake.
                  if your spacers are hubcentric and fit properly your car won't shake.

                      make sure your car is low enough to pull them off -Before even trying to rock them..

                          coil-overs- not springs my friend. you will have to buy springs and shocks to fit the height you need(full suspension) and if you are going that far why not make it adjustable?
