Exclamation New tires, Now rubbing springs...

so my car has been down for two months of more!!!
so here the set up

AGX's all around with tien type S springs
the rims are FOUR lug 17x7.5 with a 42mm offset in the front
now i have 225/45/17 on the front
the tires are rubbing on the springs
actually theyre resting on them, looks like an suv in the front

my question is what spacers should i get ive searched the forums and its all old info that doent really fit my problem

do i need just a regular spacer, the billet aluminum wheel adapters
or the hubcentric wheel spacers, the ones that have there own studs

any help would be great!!!

Well, from the sounds of things you need at least 10-15 mm spacer. This is kinda a tweener range sadly. You are either going to need to get longer front studs and use a regular spacer, or get the bolt in ones with their own studs. The bolt in ones tend to be wider, so you may not find one in the range you need. Depending on how mechanically handy you are, I'd say just do the long studs and regular spacer.
