Default What sized spacers would go with this setup

Just looking for opinions on what size spacers i should get front and back on my 04, running 245 35 19s on the front and 275 35 19s on the back lowered about 1 inch, don't think it needs much but just a little, wheels are 19x8.5 +25 front and 19x9.5 +25 rear thinking maybe 10mm front and back any suggestions would help thanks in advance

anyway heres the pics

I think 10mm would be perfect by the looks of it to put you flush, no more than that though or else you are going to either have to roll your fenders or shave the inner liner in your rear quarter panels. Just take a ruler and measure from the wheel/tire out towards the panels that way you can see exactly how far the wheels need to come out. Convert the in. to mm. and there ya go. It is nearly impossible to say EXACTLY just by looking at a few pics...

I agree - those look just fine. You might get get 5-10mm more, but it may not be worth it. (5mm is only about 0.2 inches.)

i agree you can't tell exactly from pics but thanks for the opinions guys, thinking maybe 5 to 10mm myself just to push them out a little more

I think it looks fine as is, but depending on what you consider "flush" I think you're dead on with 10mm front and rear.

Not trying to hijack your thread, but I have the same question. My car nearly got totalled in a wreck and the insurance and body shop couldn't find rims to replace mine so I got something similar. Problem is I have no idea what the new rims' offsets are. I put a yardstick up against the fender and measured from rim to yardstick. Both front and back rims are exactly .75" from rim to fender edge. Should I go 20mm spacers front and back (eventually I plan to put coilovers on but not with the intent of slamming it)?

I am assuming that by .75", you are referring to 3/4 of an inch (19mm)... If that is the case, 20mm would sit you perfectly flush. Now that I think about it, what size tires are you running? If it isn't stretched, 20mm is going to put you very close to rubbing with the wrong tire... It is hard to tell without specs and a visual.

I think 10 mm front and rear would look good.

...yup, 3/4" is what i was referring to. 235/35/19's on 8.5" rim up front and 275/30/19's on a 9.5" rim in the back. so would i be safer going with 15mm front and back?
