Well since we are on the topic, does anyone care to give advice about spacer size to me?

Front: 19x8.5 with a +29 offset
Rear: 19x9.5 with a +35 offset (TE37s)

Car is lowered with RS*R springs (.6 inches)

I was thinking 5 mm spacer up front and 10 mm spacer in the rear - that would be just slightly LESS aggresive than the folks with 19" Volks with a +22 setup all around.

What do you think? My hesitation about going bigger is additinal stress on the bearings and even more weight being added to the car.

Thanks,

Kev

I have the same issue as you except i have +30 in front. I've been doing my research and most gets 20mm front and 25mm rear but that's the oem stocks offset. My front offset, i believe to be the same as 06+ wheels offset. but my rear is +35 and thats a problem and i cannot figure what mm spacers to get that.

Thanks help would be much appreciated.

I'm still looking into this, but a member on a different site indicated that he has a +35 wheel in the rear and the 15 mm spacer works great.

The fronts are still an issue. You have +30, I have about the same, +29. I wanted to go with a 10 mm spacer. That size is made by Ichiba, but rumor has it that it is a real pain. Apparently its exactly the same size as the existing hub, preventing you from centering your wheel with the original hub. Plus, its apparently too thin to add a hub centric ring???? I need to investigate further, but if someone out there as been able to put a 10 mm spacer on the front, PLEASE let us know.

Peace.

Some spacers are hubcentric themselves. Other spacers are designed to be more universal and not application specific. These need the hubcentric ring that is specific to your vehicle.

It is not recommended to use universal spacers without the hubcentrc ring because you probably won't get them perfectly centered and you may experience some vibration.

Recently, I bot these 25mm Ichiba's and installed them front and rear. EBAY SITE

I never expected to receive any comments about the "new look" but I have received many.

I am seeing more and more people going the 25mm's all around. I am leaning towards this now. If I rub once I drop it, I can always sell them and get thinner ones.

Pics of your ride w/ Spacers?

To update this: Apparently the 10 mm spacer from Ichiba DOES have a ring machined in. Its the Eibach 10 mm spacer that doesn't and therefore may be a pain.

would a 10mm spacer make the rear nicely flushed? I'm not that great w/ spacers but it just seems like a big difference from 25mm, what most people get. Unless that +35 makes a big difference. I just want my wheels to be flushed nicely and not look stock like now.

^^^ btw nice car =D

Why don't you just measure the distance from the widest point of your tire to the outside of the fender? If you tires are underflush by 20mm, then you will need a 20mm spacer to make them flush. I don't think anyone is going to be able to tell you which spacer to get better than you going out to your vehicle and measuring.

I'm thinking of getting some spacers for mine and trying to decide which widths to go with.

Thx!
