Hey guys I could use some help, for stock wheels the spacers to make them flush are 15mm 20mm right? I currently have stance coilovers and just want to slam it down, my fenders are already rolled so no problem there but will I see any unwanted camber from the process? Also would my spacer requirement change? Thanks all idk why tire and wheel dimensions confuse me so much

Suspension 101 is a great place to start. Then this thread is great to come back to if you change wheels and run a minimum of a 265 front tire, and 285 minimum rear.

Default Opinions on proposed set up

I wasnt having luck selling my 19" Volk CE28N Time Attack wheels (9.5 and 10.5 +22). I had them refinished as powder coat hyper-black. Still no offers.

So now I'm thinking of going fat tire with the CE 28s and holding them for next season.

I was able to buy a used (1k miles) set of Hankook V12s 275/35ZR19 and 285/35ZR19 at a great price. I've read on the forums that the V12s arent as wide at the tread as others like the PS2. But I'm guessing they aren't as narrow as what I was rolling last year. Don't want to mount these if this presents a problem because the wheels are virgin.

Last season I was rolling on Conti DWS 245/35ZR19 and 275/35ZR19 with 15mm front and 5mm rear spacers. I go to shows and meets, never track the Z.

What do you think?

Looks good to me. You may need to move that 5mm spacer to the front and can the 15mm spacer completely, but it's a good basis, IMO.

I'm running 265/30 & 305/30 on my 19x9.5 +20 & 19x11 +25 so I don't think you'll have any problems with 275/285 set-up.

Good choice on the Forgelines. A buddy of mine works for Forgeline running CNC machine cutting the centers, I go to their factory to have my Volks mounted on their mounter. I don't trust local places so I have him mount and balance there. They make awesome wheels, great company with great product.

Forgeline MD3P


Gunmetal Center, Polished Outer Rim/Lip & Gloss Black Inner Rim: 19x9.5 +40 & 19x10.5 +45

Going to run a 255/40 & 284/35 BFG Sport comp-2.

For reference OEM set-up is; 18x7.5 +45 225/50 & 18x8.5 +50 245/45

Have to give BIG THANKS to Tony @ Deviate Motoring for giving me a lot of good information on Forgeline Wheels. We were going back and forth with HREs or Forgelines.

I've spent countless hours viewing different set-ups and playing with the wheel/tire calculator. I think this will be perfect for the everyday driver without any concerns.
