bro, what size of tires u r using? if u r using 205 series, then u will need to increase ur offset...not decrease! by using +45, it should clear everything. btw, whats d width of the rims?

the cheapest way is to lipped ur rear fender. u should gain extra 10mm clearance.

Re: Can i still use rubber damper with my GAB sport spring?

i have a question

Can i still use the rubber damper that can harden my ride? currently im using GAB spring. I need to harden the ride because my rims offset are abit off and if i carry 2 person at the back it will scratch the tyre..

can the rubber fit into lowered spring or is it only for OEM spring?

opinion please......

the rubber damper wont help u much, change to offset +42 rim or send to body workshop to press out a bit your rear fender, offset +42 is enough already or use 205/45/16 tire, offset +45 for rim 16" is not easy to find.... my opinion = go to body workshop to press out a bit your rear fender, don worry, they can do it without damage your body paint....
