Springs to handle 215/45/ZR1 17s on 7.5x17" rims with 1/4" wheel spacers and Konis on max damp. I don't have any rubbing even with heavy loads and even with the wider tires. If you carry heavy loads I think you would need the heavy load springs and/or spring spacers. You have too take the springs off to install the spacers. Some like the SAS Airbags that you can inflate for heavy loads but I've never tried them. Because of my 1" spacers the rear is higher but I like the look and the heavy springs have improved cornering. I don't know how your SPG springs compare to the Heavy load springs but I would think the SPG springs would compress too much with a big load. It's really nice being able to really fill the hatch up and load up the roof rack which turns your car into a Saab truck!
Best, KB.
