1 1/4” inch zzperformance springs help

[William1012]

Hi

I ended up just joining because I recently got my hands on a 2014 Chevy sonic 1.8 lt sedan!! I ordered a set of ZZPerformance lowering springs, and boy do they look dope. Though now I have a really interesting question, a while ago I happened to get my hands on a set of 30mm spacers for the wheels (yes they are all compatible with the sonic, I did my research) though my only concern is rubbing? How harsh will the tires rub? What’s the recommended spacer size after lowering your sonic 1 1/4” inches? And is it really worth putting spacers on a sonic after lowering it?

I need this info ASAP!
Kind Regards
Will

I am lowered .75" inches with 20mm spacers with no issues, but that is a little ways off from where you are going.

I have almost 5k miles on my ZZP springs now, and I think it'd be pretty hard to rub... as far as the spacers go, if your using your stock rims I'd bet 30mm will be pretty flush, not sure if you'll clear the fender lips (I'm betting you will, and then even if you don't you could just stretch your next set of rubbers and you'd be fine.

The drop is nice, but pretty soon it'll bug with how sucked in there your rims are ;-P I did. In fact I'm thinking about getting a set of meaty hub centric spacers so I can look play with tire types and see if rim size/weight really does effect this platform like people say it does.
