That calculator isn't 100% cause it doesn't factor in the tire. I'd give it at least 5mm worth of clearance.

Thanks, that helps, now just gotta take some measurements and decide.By the way I plan on running the SPL coilovers.The rims would be Nismo LMGT4 either 18x7.5 or 18x8.5.I wish they had them in 17"

rule of thumb, up to 5mm less clearance 'should' clear coilovers(on the inside, obviously)
