Default Help on getting wheels spacer

Can anybody help me on what size spacer i should get for my wheels set up i have right now. I have a 2004 non brembo model with some 19inch volk te-37. Size and offset are front 19 8-1/2 +29, and the rear are 19 9-1/2+34. Two peoples from the forum suggested on some 10mm or 15mm. Which of the two would be best, or should i run bigger..? FYI car is lower on some eibach sportline spring, and Tire size are 245 35 19 front, and 275 35 19 rear. Im trying to aim for more agressive look and dont want any rub. thanks

10mm front and 15mm rear to look pretty good.

But I suggest 20mm front and 30mm rear for the gangsta look!
You will need to roll the fenders though hahahhaa.

might have to roll the fenders depending on how low you're dropped. +15 with 275/35/19 should pretty much likely clear if you're not dropped too low. I can't say for sure cuz I dunno how low those ibachs drop.

I would go 25mm F/30mm R and roll your rear fenders. I run a 9.5+5 in the rear with a 285/35/19 and rolled fenders and still have plenty of clearance

not if he's running 19x9.5 in the rear with 275/35/19 tires.

i have 19x9.5+29 in the rear with 275/35/19 tires, added in a 20mm spacers and now it's rubbing. I'll be rolling my fenders in the spring. If anything I would suggest 15mm spacers all around.

i wouldn't worry about rolling til you tested the 15mm spacer in the rear. 15mm would put you at 19x9.5+19 in the rear, which you're probably good without rolling...which is why i suggested it.

if you're planning to roll your fenders, go with 20 or 25mm in the rear for some flushness.

im also thinking about getting spacers for my set of volks. current running in the front 245/45/19 8.5+22 rear 275/35/19 9.5+12.
in my opinion, kinda not aggressive enough for my taste, im on stock springs right now tho gonna drop to hotchkis soon, what size spacers should i get?

if you push your rears anymore, you'll rub for sure...in fact, i think you'd rub if you lowered your car...i'm running the effective offset of 19x9.5+9, and i'm rubbing.

for the fronts i recommend a 10mm spacer (what i'm running). I'd just run some front spacers if i were you.

for those who are curious, here are the pics of my offsets after i installed the spacers...

fronts...19x8.5+25 with 15mm spacer ->19x8.5+10 with 245/35/19 toyos


rears...19x9.5+29 with 20mm spacer ->19x9.5+9 with 275/35/19 toyos

What are your camber settings though? Doesn't look like you are running much at all

well, if you look at my pics, the diff between your 9.5+12 and my 9.5+9 is 3mm...so i don't think you would need any...

All RIGHT...alright...don’t get you panties all twisted..... 15mm all around, since you know very well what your talking about. And its not like im not taking in your suggestion, is just I want other people input. Like I stated on top of the post " 1 person is telling me to run 10mm and the other is telling me to run 15mm " I just wanted to see from the two which is best, or do other people suggest other sizes.... I very appreciate your suggestion.

As for camber kit. I am not running any as of right now. I have a set for the front but never install it yet. If anybody out there disagrees with 15mm all around, your input is very needed. I want to do this right the first time. Thanks for everybody help.

10mm if you are conservative and want to run 295's in the rear. 15mm if you are happy with 275's and dont want to roll.
