I'm not sure anyone here will know this... But how much lateral sidewall flex do you actually get in tires while cornering? Specifcally 205/50/15's... Obviously the tires with the shorter sidewall are going to flex less.

Just looking for a general guesstimate. My tire has about 1/4" between itself and the lower spring perch, and it doesn't appear to have ever rubbed.

Well no matter now. I got my spacers from Evan and now there is over 1" of clearance. Nice spacers BTW. Wheels aren't anything special, 15x7" eagle 5 spokes, you can see them in the members rides without the spacers on if you are interested.

The tire sidewall flexes down near the contact patch, not up by the spring perch. That's why you haven't seen any rubbing...
