Wheel Spacers Question
Hey guys, so those wheels I was trying to get already sold. I'm thinking about just sticking with my rims for now and run some spacers. Wheel setup is 19 x 8. 5 up front and 19 x 9.5 in the back with +35 offset all around. Tire setup is 245/35/19 & 275/35/19. I'm thinking about 25mm Ichiba Version II spacers all around. Will those make my wheels flush with the fenders?
Also, I will need to purchase tires soon anyways, so if you guys have a more aggressive tire setup in mind that I can run with spacers (without having to roll my fenders), please let me know.

9.5 +20 with your tire size is pretty much as far as you can go before a roll. I've seen +15 work but it depends on you camber setting a the actual shape of the tire.

I personally think a 20mm spacer is huge and obvious. A 10mm spacer will put him at +25 all around. This will sit quite flush, similar to my set-up with +22 offset which is quite flush. I put a 10mm spacer on the rear for kicks, and it rubbed. I know lots of people have +12 to +15 wheels, but camber, and exact tire details TBD, I think the 10mm spacer is the better choice if he absolutely wants to avoid the necessity of a fender roll. Cheers.
How about a 295/35/19 on 19x10 +20 rims in the rear? Additionally, BC racing coil overs and SPC camber kit installed. I'm still deciding on a meaty aggressive look or stretched.
I don't think it'll work well, but other members with more experience in that size may chime in.
Stock rear set-up is 245/45/18 = 26.7"
Your proposed 295/35/19 = 27.1", which is taller than stock (too much for my tastes)
A 295/30/19 would be 26.0" tall, so ~3.4" shorter than OEM set-up. You can see that only 5% difference in sidewall ratio equates to a lot in the overall height of the set.
I run a 305/30/19, which is 26.2" tall, and only ~1/2" shorter than stock set-up on a 19x10.5 +28 and does not rub even under full compression.
