James,

We have an '02S w/H&R lowering springs.
The spring tower is above the tire = so no difference in clearance with same wheels and tires.

When you change the wheel/tire size and offset then you will be looking at more spacer.

It sounds like you may already have larger tires/wheels if your clearance is 2MM.

We have used16.5/18MM on the rear and 15MM on the front with 8x18 and 10x18 BBS 911 Turbo wheels and KUMHO V710 245/285 tires.

When you get the springs on and are setting the alignment you may wish to consider various size spacers for inside/outside clearance and appearance.

A photo of our setup is attached.

Take care,
Ed
