I purchased this car used and these were the rims it came with. I love the look of them but I can't figure it out.

They are 19" and 9" width in the front and 10" in the rear( I think I measured with a yard stick). The side of them says Kobe. I checked the Kobe website and they don't even offer a 19" rim. My wheels have a 3" wide lip. I don't have a closer picture with me right now, but if no one can figure it out from the above picture I will take a close up of the rim. Thanks

I might be wrong but you can check by taking 1 wheel OFF and see if any logo in the back!
Unless its a generic/no name wheel.

I don't have much experience with wheel spacers, but do I ideally want the rim lip to be flush with the wheel flare? Can I purchase a wheel spacer from Discount Tire or Tire Rack? In other words are all wheel spacers created equal? I will take a new picture of a close up of the wheel tonight.

Can't really tell from the pic, but they look like the Tork cheapos.

Not sure what they are, but I like them. Just eyeballing it, some 5-10mm spacers in the front and 20-25mm in the rear will make it look good.

XNeo- no those aren't them. They look very similar but mine say Kobe on one of the spokes.

I am going to Scarab performance in Mansfield, TX thursday and Im sure I can get some wheel spacers from them. How much do you think Ill be looking to pay for what you suggested?

I think these might be them, Laila has the car at work right now. I can't believe you found these. They aren't even on the Kobe website.... weird.

I think that in the past year, the OP probably got everything sorted out.

places like discount tire will not do spacers, they dont want the liability. most car shops will do it for cash. you are looking at 130$ range for new hub centric spacers with built in studs, the installation is super fast and easy and hopefully they'd be willing to do it for free or cheap. I ran into a nightmare with mine, the stock studs stuck out too far through the spacer and I had to have someone grind them down, was sort of a tedious job. if that happens, expect to pay more in labor.

after they are installed make sure you give it a few days then take the wheels off and torque them down again, just to be safe.

This this guy is right. You're gonna need something like 20-25mm spacers front/rear.
