Default 18"/19" OEM Track Wheels - Do I need Spacers?

I'm thinking of purchasing a set of oem 18/19" '06+ track wheels.
Does anyone know if spacers would be required (in other words, how aggressive is the stock offset?).

Pics would help if you have them.

Thanks in advance.

Yes you would need spacers. i would say 15mm in the rear and 10mm to 15mm in the front. It would be very flush afterwards

you guys that scream spacers are needed--do you have the 18/19 GTs???

I'm curious as to how the GTs NEED spacers. This is my car with GTs, completely stock suspension--stock height, no spacers. I wouldn't have minded spacers, but NEED them? I don't think so.

Hey man, you don't have to quit cause I made a sarcastic comment... I love the way your car looks with those wheels on it... post away man.... be that guy, the one thats proud of his ride.

As for the OP's question, when I was shopping for my car, they had one with this setup and it obviously didn't have spacers on as it was new. I noticed right away that the wheels looked much more flush than the stock wheels. I just couldn't justify paying several K's more for brembos and wheels when I knew I was going aftermarket on both eventually... plus it wasn't an auto or a roadster. I think spacers could make it look meaner, but doesn't need them as much as the stockers I have.

adding spacers will for sure make the wheels look better on the car

Jun, seriously you'd be better off with spacers... will look much better... try a 15 and a 25 front and back... much more jdm offset LoL

Based on those pictures, I might be inclined to say spacers would be "too much".

They look perfect there. This forum is obsessed with the lowest offset possible.
I think the sunk look sucks, but these are hardly sunk.
