Another wheel spacer / lowering question

[EYSA]

Hi All, I just installed 15mm spacers on my CT Turbo S and feel like the rear could go a bit further. Question is if/when I lower it will the wheels push further out? Car is on factory 21's

15mm is typically suggested as max. you could try 20, but may result in a "poke" situation.

Yes that’s what I gathered when searching some threads here. I did see at least one that was running 18mm in the rear which I feel might be just right but I’m wondering if lowering makes the wheels look more pushed out or perhaps inward due to camber. I guess the best way is to lower it and see but was hoping someone here has experience with this.

I have the factory 21" with 18mm spacers in the back and lowered. I also RAS and have had no issues rubbing or poking. Here's some pics of the rears with 18mm spacers.

That’s what I expected it to look like which I think looks right. Are you lowered?

Remember: all it takes is a 3mm dent in your battery pan for a huge repair. Lowering increases that risk.

I've seen that reply from you on at least 4-5 lowering threads on this site. Why are you so concerned with other people's choices?

I guess I hate to see people make stupid avoidable mistakes.

Appreciate the concern but I have yet to hear of anyone damaging their battery pack. I’ve lowered numerous EV’s and never had a problem. With that said I’m only looking to lower it an inch at most.

You bought a GTS which is significantly lower than a CT. We are lowering it to about what your car is. So not sure who made the bigger avoidable mistake.

Based on depreciation I definitely made the avoidable mistake! I paid full MSRP like an idiot!

Can’t us CT guys use GTS links?

I don't believe the links are what differs, it is the coding / software that differs.
