Couple more shots of the stance/wheel situation

This is a thread for my 2017 Spark LT 5spd, I haven’t done much too it yet, just springs, wheels and a couple interior bits. I hope to be the first to swap in a built Sonic engine (1.4T) and build a rally ready spark (my history is with rally prepared MINIs) but for now I’m getting to know the car and what it is all about. i plan to keep up with it on here and as always on IG @speedyspeedboiii

Just wanted to follow up and let you all know that the 215/40/16 fit, but rub the wheel well plastic a bit when turning. I will most likely modify or cut the plastic. Seems like it just barely touches it on the rear side when the wheel is turned. They clear the inside by the strut by 1/3 inch and the strut cup on top by about 1/2" .  I'll post pics soon. 
 

I have a 2017 LT 5spd and have had only 1 problem with it so far, every now and again the apple car play causes the screen to freeze on the “Chevy Mylink” screen. I think this might just be a problem with CarPlay though, as it goes away when I unplug and wait before I replay my phone. As far as mechanically speaking my spark has been flawless. 21k on the clock and I’ll be very surprised if it has any major problems before 100k. Even the plastic seems to be holding up well which is pretty impressive to me.

So it’s come to my attention that the m300 coilovers will fit the m400 spark. This is awesome since it means a set of Megan racing EZ streets with the stock rubber bushings will set you back $649 (w/free lower USA shipping) instead of having to drop the $995 on BC racing Coilovers. However, this has led me to wonder, due to a similar appearance that perhaps Chevy Sonic Coilovers will fit. If anyone has any info on this or a way to help me find out it would be so so helpful as it would open up even more options as far as performance suspensions and the like.
