Hi ppl, need you guys' help and advise, after puttting on the 19" ABT rims, together with the spacers, the driving with the magnetic ride is simply wonderful, EXCEPT, i don't why when i corner or turn, it sometimes comes out with a loud sound like "GRAAAaaaK!" from behind, does this happen to anyone who has 19" wheels? after putting on the 19"s it looks low, only 1 finger between the gap, im wondering if its too low or is it the spacers? i'm thinking of changing the spring into either the H&R Spring which goes 30mm lower (2 fingers) or Audi sport spring 10mm (1 finger). Do you think is a good idea? thanks

You are scraping the fender lip. Without the spacers, the wheel deflection with 19" allows the top of the tire to pivot into the wheel well due to the negative camber. When you add spacers, the top of the tire now hits the inside lip of the fender well.

Remove the spacers, increase your camber (with more tire wear), but for gawd's sake don't lower the car further. You will destroy your tires or fender.
