Anybody here ever used spring spacers to avoid rubbing?

[Crickett]

I've used a kit that looks exactly like the pic you posted but backwards: I used them as spring clamps to lower my old car ~0.75" until I got adjustable perches. As others have said, everyone cautioned me against using them permanently, so I'll say the same thing. They may be working swimmingly for now, but you don't want any sudden failures of any kind.

adjustable perches?

[Crickett]

Aftermarket struts with adjustable spring perches (screw up or down with a set screw) for my old '92 Sentra.

If you go down to a 235 or 245 series tire it would probably fix your problem.

wouldn't that be a small tire for a 9.5"?

235mm is about 9.25 inches.

9.5 inches = 241.3 millimeters, so 245 should be the right fit w/o stretching, right?

what are your tire/wheel sizes? It seems we have the same ones...

[Dotpage]

just a thought, wouldn't 10mm less in the tire width be the same as adding 10mm in the offset? Like from 33 to 43?

My old setup is in my signature pic. It was 19x9.5 rears ET45 with 255/30/19 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx
