Default question from a newbie

just got an 04 gto and I have some 18x9.5 zr1 rims to put on it and some wheel spacers, so how do I keep the tires from rubbing? I keep seeing a bunch of lowering springs, do they not make a stiffer spring or one that lifts?

I found some 3/4 to 1 in raise springs on peddars, search their section for 04-06 gtos, they got springs that raise the rear end for you.

Roll ya fenders.

I have the same 9.5" vette replica wheels with a 10mm spacer and no rubby rubby even when at full squat.

Yup! Rolling the fenders is the answer.
