You could if you wanna be flush. I would say maybe a 15mm spacer will do the trick. Do you know what offset and width they are?

18" x 7.5" 42mm offset

i would go with 20mm for front and 25mm for the rears to make it more flush but you will still be tucked in the rear a little. you can get the generic spacers on ebay but i wouldn't trust those since my safety is on the line. i would go with ichiban spacers or you can get project kics but those are expensive. just search "scion tc spacers" on ebay.

you can go that route since i'm pretty sure your low on cash or just save up for some f&f v2 coils.

/e if you dump the rl coils, you will def need roll your fenders and maybe a subtle pull. i'm not sure about the pull but i am pretty sure you will have to roll ur fenders.

huh??? everybody would love to have coils since it makes your car have a sexier look or you don't like the harsher ride?

20/25mm is what you should get. I have the same setup minus the spacers. As far as the snow, the tires is whats important.

i have 18x7.5 +37 and added 25mm spacers all around. the fronts are good but the rears are still slightly tucked. it looks really tucked bc i have about 2-2.5 degrees of camber. here's a pic.
