Default Think Spacers are needed?

I just recently got new wheels. Not mounted yet. Here are the sizes 19x8.5F 35mm offset and 19x9.5R 35mm offset. Will they be to sunken in or should I get spacers. If so, then what size? The tires i will be putting on are 245/35/19 Front and 275/35/19 Rear. Thanks for help!!!

Waaayyyy to sunken in for my tastes. And the spacers you would need, you'd need to replace the studs to longer ones, PIA. Shoulda ordered wheels with better offsets man.

Depends on wheel type ... my offsets are 37 in the front and 38 in the back, but I have a 3" front lip and 4" back lip. If these aren't deep dished wheels then they probably will look a bit too sunken.

I'd throw on some 15-20mm spacers all around at least

I think 20mm's all around would be enough, use a bolt on.
