What's the best cure for my wheel gap I have Strano Springs and KYB AGX's. Due to my exhaust setup I had to use Global West 1.5" Spring Spacers in the rear. Since I put them in I have noticed that the wheel gap in the rear has basically gone back to a stockish looking wheel gap.
What would be the best way to get rid of the gap? Bigger tire or bigger wheel?

best cure? remove the spacers.
with 255/45/17's in front and 285/40/17's in rear I gained a tiny bit of clearance over stock size tires and that has been enough of a difference to keep my exhaust from hitting. I've probably only scraped it once in the last 2 months.

I wouldn't have to replace all of the tires, just the rear tires. I could only have myself and 1 other person (weighing a max of 220lbs) in the car before the spacer. I'm thinking I might just get the 1" spacer to replace these current spacers.
Did you read at all? I just put this on. I don't know about you but I would not change an exhaust that I just got..

I don't think just slapping on a bigger/taller rear tire will help the looks of anything, it just looks kinda funny to me. There will still be some wheel gap and the rear will be sitting even higher.
