Hi mate,

Would you know what offset you getting? It's depends on the offset. Mine is 19x8.5 +5 at front and I don't need spacers as they sit very flush. I will need to roll the guards if I put spacers on and lower it.

One of my friend, xtc, had spacers on his 19 inch rims before he has 20 inch Volk GT-C. I don't know his 19 inch rims spec though.

Basically, 19x8.5 with low and negative offsets wouldn't need spacers, but higher offsets do if you want the rims to sit flush to the guards.

Good luck.

they are tenzo type m specs are 19x8.5 5x112/114.3 offset is +45 all around

any idea on what mm spacer i would need for fronts and rears?

no idea of my offset but im running 19 x 10 on the back with no issues not sure on the fronts think they are the same or 19 x 9.5 but they come dam close to the suspension whilst allmost filling out the guard

I know that my 18 x 9.5 +20 track rims stick out a the front just a tiny bit

Depends how close to the guards u want to b. R u lowered. My current rims are 8.5 front wid +35 offset. It sat inside the guards as soon as i dumped it on coils it sits way too inside and id need like a 38mm spacer to make it look guud again.

If u running stock height then id say a 20-25 mm spacer for the front.

I assume the rears are 9.5? in that case id say round the same.

[Ezy03]

stock height - f&r are both same specs (19x8.5 5x112/114.3 offset is +45)

[Ezy03]

stock 17'' size are - Front: 17"x7.5" +30mm offset and Rear: 17"x8" +33mm offset and they sit flush.

does that mean i need 15mm spacer for front and 12mm spacer for rear on the 19'' have now to sit flush?

by tyres on the 19's are 235/35 all round too ( i cant remeber the tyres on the 17's i had)

[CRISP 35]

I wudnt say the stock rims sit flush bro, but to each is his own.

Best thing to do is put the wheels on and then measure and work out wat mm spacers u require based on distance to the guard.

Hope that helps

stock wheels are never flush.

people also have differing opinions on "flushness", width, offset, camber and tyre sizes will play an important part.

if you don't have camber arms, lowering your car will increase its negative camber.

you won't get anywhere near being flush with x8.5 +45, your main concern now is whether it will hit the front suspension arms. if the stock 17s are x7.5 +30, that's equivalent to x8.5 +42. so it should be fine

[Ezy03]

any specific way i can go on about the measuring - certain spots to measuring etc?

[CRISP 35]

Simple way is jus measure the side tip of the wheel to da outter guard

[fcruz3r]

on a 19*8.5 +45, I'm gonna stick my neck out and say that you will need spacers especially if you have brembo brakes, but more for the aesthetic

i'm currently on 18" with 9.0 +30 fronts and they could use a 10mm spacer to sit flush (but I am running -1 camber)

hi guys just updating this thread for those keen to know what happened, i went to tempe tyres and got 30mm spacer for the front and 35mm for rears, sit perfectly now. they charged 50 a wheel which i was suprised since it was that cheap. also went to ozzy tyres they were charging 150 a wheel which i laughed at. anyways thanks for the help and answers.

FYI did you get slip on spacers or bolt on ones? The latter are more expensive and safer. Either way they are both illegal. Your insurance will be void if u happen to be involved in an accident and they find out u have spacers.

Food for thought.
