Hey,
I have the Eibach Pro-Kit 1.6" Drop Front & Rear on my Eclipse Spyder with 16x7 Concept Neeper Rims w/ 225/50/16 tires - Same as the Stock wheels with the exception of being about 1/2" wider then the 205/55/16 tires.
So in other words - the same as stock wheels as far as wheel gap.
I can barely fit 3 fingers in the fender gap:

Oh man.....
I just finished dropping my car, a white gs with the stock 16's I put the eibach pro kit springs. It took me all night, about 3 hrs....Car looks perfect. Those springs fill the wheel gap very nice. Unfortunately I have no pics. I'll be taking some soon. Good luck.

Hey thanks for the props *blushing*
I'm taking pictures of the car tomorrow night at the dsm get-together we are having in Jacksonville. I know I'm biased now, but get the Eibach Pro-Kit!!! They are the perfect drop IMO. Unless you want it very low. The pros took away the wheel gap, it's not bouncy, and it's not a real pain in the ass to drive. They advertise 1 inch and a 1/4 but they will be lower after they settle. And camber is not that bad, but it will need to be done in the rears only. Anyways, I'll post my pics on sunday, and hopefully you likes =)
