Lol thanks.
- Springs are OME 895/884
- Bilsteins are 5100s all around
- Wheels are SCS F5s, 17x8.5
- Tires are Nitto Ridge Grapplers and ended up going with 265/70/17. Was tempted to go with the 285's but I didn't want to deal with a BMC.

Hi guys quick question, im about to buy a set off level 8 mk6 17x9 -12. I’ll be on stock tires 265 65 and stock suspension for now, is there any rubbing issues at all? Thanks!
you'll most likely get some rubbing, but if you unscrew you fender liner and push it forward and screw it back in on the bottom you should be good. I can't guarantee that though. its possible you may have to trim.
Stock 2008 UrbanRunner with 265/60r18 (equivalent size to 265/65/17)
I took my Runner to an off-road shop today to get wheel spacers installed. I discussed what I want next which is a 265/65r18 tire and a 1 or 1.5" front leveling kit - most likely Daystar. They told me I should get bilstein 5100s instead of the spacer lift and would need aftermarket control arms to handle the added stress of the lift. I am trying to keep the car pretty stock - and not spend unnecessarily. Do I really need aftermarket control arms if I just want to lift 1-1.5"? Or are they just trying to upswell? The wheel spacers, bigger tires, and small front lift are the only mods I am going to do. I do not drive off road; it's just for looks. I'd like it to continue to drive like stock.
Thanks
