Welcome to the forum! What are the specs on your wheels and tires there? Looks like a 205 tire on (I'm guessing) a 7 inch wheel wide with +35mm offset.

Ah I see, it looks good. Though if you are running a 16x7 ET+40mm wheel with a 205/50R16 tire, you might get a bit of light rubbing on all 4 corners during hard bumps, hard cornering at high speed or with passengers in the car... With lowering springs, it'll just make the rubbing worst.

Just mentioning this as a heads up by the way unless you meant to type either "15x7 wheel" or "205/50R15" but I kind of doubt that though.

I don't think its the rear quarter overhang in need to be rolled if that's what you mean by guards. There is a good bit of plastic that attaches to the inside of the rear bumper where it mounts to the quarter. Some of the plastic material on the bumper will have to be trimmed down/off and maybe the bumper's screw will have to be re positioned if you want to try to clear at stock height.

If you don't want to deal with that, stash the springs for a bit and save up for some 205/45R16 tires. They are smaller in overall diameter and are an OEM spec size (at least in the US) for GDs with a 16 inch wheel.

^^ Is that Seibon wing 100% bolt on or did you have to drill new holes to mount it?
